Verse 1:
From Abraham's seed, a promise was made,
Through deserts and trials, they followed His way.
The cloud by day and the fire by night,
God led His people with power and might.
Chorus:
O Is-ra-el, chosen and blest,
Held by the hand of God's righteousness.
Though armies may gather and foes may rise,
The Lord of Lords fights from the skies!
Victory is sure, His covenant stands—
The shield of Israel is not of man!
Verse 2:
Through waters deep and Pharaoh's wrath,
He split the sea and cleared their path.
At Jericho's walls, a trumpet blew,
The walls came down, His Word proved true.
Chorus:
O Is-ra-el, chosen and blest,
Held by the hand of God's righteousness.
Though armies may gather and foes may rise,
The Lord of Lords fights from the skies!
Victory is sure, His covenant stands—
The shield of Israel is not of man!
Bridge:
No weapon formed shall prosper near,
For the God of Jacob draws ever near.
He neither slumbers, nor turns away,
He guards His people night and day!
Verse 3:
Through exile long and battles grim,
The faithful remnant trusted Him.
And now restored by grace and flame,
They rise again in Yahweh’s name!
Chorus:
O Is-ra-el, chosen and blest
Held by the hand of God's righteousness.
Though nations may rage and kings may scheme,
He rules above every earthly dream.
Victory is sure, His covenant stands—
The shield of Israel is not of man!
FOR The shield of Israel is the Great I Am!
The GREAT I AM!
