Armour

(matty)

you stirred a tempest in my heart I know I felt it

one so devout he filled my soul with love abounding

forever close my hands will never go unknowing

i've seen a world where people powerfully changing

ah...

you are my armour

you broke the chains within my tongue your people heard you

you built the peace within the walls I’ll battle for you

i saw the ships, the dreams I’ve made, you’ve got them sailing

my life will be to you forever prevailing

ah...

you are my armour

with my breast plate on, my armour strong

I'm walking through the flames

with a sword in hand, resounding sound as they all walk away

with a breast plate on, my armour strong

I'm walking through the flames

with a sword in hand, resounding sound as they all walk away

ooooh...

he turned me in and heard my world falling under

you set my feet on solid ground, you are my wonder

your every word will be to me like living water

you feed the thousands, your word like armour

John 3:8: “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

The word spirit in both Hebrew and Greek means “breath” or “wind.” Both a breath of air and a breeze are appropriate images for the Holy Spirit.
