Fortress

VERSE:
I'm out here in the war zone,
the dark is closing in
My strength is almost gone
Soon I'll be swallowed whole
Don't leave me here defenceless,
I need Your lion's roar
To put my fear to fly,
Your light to burn the night
I'm running to You,
You're the safest place

CHORUS:
Surround me like a fortress
and close me in with Your walls
Till I'm completely captured
in the safety of Your arms
Drown out the lies and judgement,
lock up Your mighty gates
Your voice, my sole companion,
and I'll cling to every word

VERSE 2:
You are my shield and shelter,
Your truth my true defence
I'm held within Your perfect love
No weapon formed is stong enough, and
I'm running to You, You're the safest place

CHORUS:
Surround me like a fortress
and close me in with Your walls
Till I'm completely captured
in the safety of Your arms
Drown out the lies and judgement,
lock up Your mighty gates
Your voice, my sole companion,
and I'll cling to every word

BRIDGE:
And ever my voice will sing Your praise
Ever my heart will know Your love,
my soul is well here
Ever my voice will sing Your praise
Ever my heart will know Your love,
my soul is well here
Ever my voice will sing Your praise
Ever my heart will know Your love,
my soul is well

CHORUS:
Surround me like a fortress
and close me in with Your walls
'Till I'm completely captured
in the safety of Your arms
Drown out the lies and judgement,
lock up Your mighty gates
Your voice, my sole companion,
and I'll cling to every word
