When darkness wrecks me
Who will protect me
When my fear shakes me
Who holds me steady
I'm bruised and battered, Lord, I surrender
I'm tired of fighting, be my defender
All my faith is in You
Hold my life together
Stand with me, lead me through
Lord, be my defender
Here in the waiting
You are providing
My heart is aching
But my praise is rising
I'm bruised and battered, Lord, I surrender
I'm tired of fighting, be my defender
All my faith is in You
Hold my life together
Stand with me, lead me through
Lord, be my defender
You are lifting up my head
You are singing over me
You're my victory over death
You're my defender
You are lifting up my head
You are singing over me
You're my victory over death
You're my defender
All my faith is in You
Hold my life together
Stand with me, lead me through
Lord, be my defender
All my faith is in You
Hold my life together
Stand with me, lead me through
Lord, be my defender
