Weapon In My Bag (My Mighty Shield)

Moments when I'm weak
Times when I may stumble
My mind's not clear to think
My Spirit can't press on
Lord I'm prone to wander
My will it lacks the strength
But you showed me that all the while
I've the answer to it all

My mighty shield is your word wrote out for us
Through it you showed us all
Your love your might your grace
Times when I am dry
You fill me up again
And Lord you guard me with Your mighty shield

Such a book of love
Filled with words of grace & wisdom
It can answer all life's questions
It's not just a book for my religion
I know the truth it holds
Yet often time it's just left in my bag
Far from my sight

O Lord please remind me
Of this greatly treasured tool
Written generations back
But every word stil holds

My mighty shield is your word wrote out for us
Through it you showed us all
Your love your might your grace
Times when I am dry
You fill me up again
And Lord you guard me with Your mighty shield

Teach me how to utilize
This weapon in my bag
Help me to use it more and more
To bless to guide to heal
May I understand O Lord
The truths you will reveal
O Lord I'll use
This weapon in my bag
O Lord I'll use
This weapon in my bag
