It is a gift to find a song that provides language to express part of your journey.
The song “Defender” resonated deeply with me when I was at my lowest. I would listen to it and weep and not really know why. The illumination of its significance has been progressive as I continue my healing journey.
It has become my anthem, a testimony to the mighty work the Lord has done in my life. The bridge is especially meaningful to me and still stirs up deep emotion.
“When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me. You reintroduced me to your love.
You picked up all my pieces, put me back together, You are the defender of my heart.”
I was lost and shattered in so many ways, yet He delicately and lovingly put me back together and anchored me in the foundation of His goodness and love so He could become my strength.
He is the defender of your heart and He wants you to discover greater depths of His goodness and love.
Let’s pray.
Lord, help us to know You as our defender and our safe place. You can be trusted with our healing journey. You know exactly what each one of us needs and when. Please teach us how to rest in You as You tenderly reintroduce us to Your love and restore our faith and hope as only You can for the honor and glory of Jesus. May it be so.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
You go before I know
That You’ve gone to win my war
You come back with the head of my enemy
You come back and You call it my victory
Verse 2
You go before I know
That You’ve gone to win my war
Your love becomes my greatest defense
It leads me from the dry wilderness
Pre-Chorus
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
Chorus
Hallelujah, you have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, great Defender
So much better Your way
Verse 3
You know before I do
Where my heart can seek to find your truth
Your mercy is the shade I’m living in
You restore my faith and hope again
Bridge
When I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
Have a blessed weekend and receive all He has for you!

Music- often I think of you when I hear a song that we could dance to the Lord to😊 and I love the way you put into words things that I already know/live. Toby Mac- “I need You” was a song that helped me verbalize ( at full volume) my heart to the Lord. over and over again.
