"From the deepest valleys To the highland fields I know you are with me My strength and my shield I won't ask for bronze Or pray for steel Just for Your Spirit My strength and my shield When man's words could be said Or taunts could be jeered I am still in Your peace My strength and my shield My Lord is almighty Above all that we feel His grace conquers all My strength and my shield" I wrote this in a journal on March 30, 2010. This verse was a stronghold for me and encouragement to a friend as I supported him through a hard time. I have never written much poetry / lyrics, but the Holy Spirit put this on my heart and it was penned quickly. "... My heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him!" The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. Psalm 28:7 ESV
