We get lost in a delusion
We can’t believe our eyes
Entertaining an illusion
Lord help us be wise
Where else can be stand?
Where else can we go
Who else has the words of life
That defeats our foe?
Lord encamp your angels about us
We cry out to you
Lord have mercy lest the enemy rout us
Lord we trust in you
Born on a battlefield
We see your banner raised
So we will never yield
Oh Lord of hosts be praised
You’ve won the victory
Over the roaring lion
We’re safe and we are free
Within the walls of Zion
If we flounder in the deep
Flailing to survive
We pray our souls you’ll keep
Lord, make our faith alive.
Beyond what we can do
In you we place our trust
And you will see us through
With your angels guarding us
Lord encamp your angels about us
We cry out to you
Lord have mercy lest the enemy rout us
Lord we trust in you
On this cosmic battlefield
By mercy we are led
With angel warriors as our shield
We’re as safe as in our bed
Our guardians shall contend
And rout the haughty hordes
Our souls they shall defend
For the battle is the Lord’s!
Lord encamp your angels about us
We cry out to you
Lord have mercy lest the enemy rout us
Lord we trust in you
