Divine Shield

[Intro]
Silent shadows cast, in the midnight glow
A portal's eye, a lion's stare, darkness starts to grow

[Verse 1]
I saw a face in the portal, fierce with burning pride
Its eyes like burning coals, filled with hate I can't hide
Kids asleep, spellbound deep, under magic's spell
I try to wake the world around, hear their silent farewell

[Pre-Chorus]
Standing there in fear, heart pounding loud
Felt the beast drawing near, dangerous and proud

[Chorus]
Thank you Jesus, for your divine grace
You shelter me, in your holy embrace
Your love surrounds and shields, keeps me safe from harm
Your mercy wounds the darkness, with your healing arm

[Bridge]
Feeling his hatred, I lay back down
A leap, a bound, I fear I might drown
Suddenly a cloud, a blanket of divine light
Covering me entirely, through the darkest night

[Outro]
Grateful for your help, through every trial faced
Forever in your love, I am truly embraced
