People killed in broad daylight and taken from their families
In the midst of their struggles, pain, and suffering
Show them the light, in the sea of darkness
Be the peace that they need to drift off to sleep
They stand tall
Together
But they are crushed inside
They don't let their fear show
They keep on fighting this nasty fight
Lord please be their shield
And watch over them
Be their defender
When there seems to be no end
Be their rock and source of strength
Show them to respond only in your way
It's between love and hate right now
Doubting if you're even around
When they're getting pounded and beat
And it feels like you're doing nothing
They stand tall
Together
But they are crushed inside
They don't let their fear show
They keep on fighting this nasty fight
Lord please be their shield
And watch over them
Be their defender
When there seems to be no end
Be their rock and source of strength
Show them to respond only in your way
You are there through the thick and the thin
They are not alone nor forsaken
You hear their cries
And their wondering why's
Give them a sign, there will be light
Lord please be their shield
And watch over them
Be their defender
When there seems to be no end
Be their rock and source of strength
Show them to respond only in your way
Lord please be their shield (shield)
And watch over them
Be their defender (defender)
When there seems to be no end
Be their rock and source of strength (ohhhh)
Show them to respond only in your way
I pray that they seek you and find you
