My shield is God Most High
I yield to God my life
In peacetime or in strife
My shield is God Most High
I find my hiding place
In His sustaining grace
Where I regain my strength
In God my hiding place
Sing praise to the name
Of the LORD Most High
Sing praise and proclaim
He is holy
Sing praise and proclaim
The one who clothes himself in light
Sing praise to the name
Of the LORD Most High
Lord Most High
Whom else shall I fear?
Who could make me tremble
As I do when you draw near?
In the darkness I will sing
In the quiet of the night
The praises of my living King
Who lives in living light
Sing praise to the name
Of the LORD Most High
Sing praise and proclaim
He is holy
Sing praise and proclaim
The one who clothes himself in light
Sing praise to the name
Of the LORD Most High
