This Is Your Sword

[Verse 1]
Brothers and sisters, listen to me
These are the few things that I leave to thee
This sword of our fathers with lessons hard-taught
This shield strong and sturdy from battles well-fought

[Chorus]
This is your sword, this is your shield
This is the power of love revealed
Carry them with you wherever you go
And give all the love that you have in your soul

[Verse 2]
The times, they are dark, darkness covers the earth
This world’s filled with the beauty of God’s work
Hold tight to your promise, stay righteous, stay strong
For the days of miracles will come along

[Chorus]
Now this is your sword, this is your shield
This is the power of love revealed
Carry it with you wherever you go
And give all the love that you have in your soul

[Bridge]
In the days of despair, you can grow hard
Till you close your mind and you empty your heart
If you find yourself staring in the abyss
Hold tight to your loved ones and remember this

[Verse 3]
This shield will protect your sacred heart
This sword will defend from what comes in the dark
Should you grow weary on the battlefield
Do not despair our love is real

[Chorus]
This is your sword, this is your shield
This is the power of love revealed
Carry it with you wherever you go
And give all the love that you have in your soul
And give all the love that you have in your soul
