Shield of Grace

[Intro]
Walking through the shadows of my past,
Seeking light, hoping it will last.
A prayer in my heart, a whisper in the wind,
Searching for strength to start again.

[Verse 1]
It was 2016, when he had to leave,
Left a hole so deep, it made me grieve.
In the closet of my soul, I hid my pain,
Drowning sorrows in the drink, trying not to feel the rain.

[Pre-Chorus]
But then I heard your call, a gentle divine sound,
A shield of grace to lift me off the ground.
You sent angels down, wings a flash of light,
Guiding me through the darkness into the night.

[Chorus]
Heavenly Lord, you gave me a shield,
To battle the urges, to refuse to yield.
Blessed with courage in your holy name,
I stand here fighting, shedding my shame.

[Verse 2]
The monkey on my back, once wild, now tame,
Fading away with each prayer I claim.
I wanted numbness to block the pain,
But your love washed over, cleansed the stain.

[Pre-Chorus]
Watching me closely, your angels stay near,
Protecting my soul from falling into fear.
Saints of heaven, angels unseen,
Hold me close, keep me clean.

[Chorus]
Heavenly Lord, you gave me a shield,
To battle the urges, to refuse to yield.
Blessed with courage in your holy name,
I stand here fighting, shedding my shame.

[Bridge]
Purpose on this Earth, why am I here?
To love, to learn, to conquer fear.
Your divine plan, I may not see,
But in your mercy, I believe.

[Outro]
So I thank you Lord, for your endless grace,
For the angels and the shield, for this sacred place.
I'll walk this path with hope anew,
Guided by your love, eternally true.
