A Shield About Me

Kent Henry's song 'Thou, O Lord' is a worship piece that declares God as a protective shield, the source of glory, and the one who lifts the head of the downtrodden. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, focusing on God's role as a defender and encourager. The repeated 'Hallelujah' emphasizes praise and adoration. The song draws on Psalm 3:3, where God is described as a shield and the lifter of the head. It is a short, meditative worship song suitable for personal or congregational use, expressing trust and exaltation in God's protective and uplifting nature.
