When the battle is fierce
And the walls are crashing in
And I have no place to go
Surrounded by my foes
Yet not alone
There’s one thing I know
That they don’t know
You prepare a table for me
And bless me in the presence of my enemies
You fill me ’til my cup overflows
You restore my soul
If not for You I would surrender to my fears
And hope would surely slip away
I find comfort knowing You are near
I’m ready to say
Renew my strength
I will lift up my eyes
To where my help comes from
I know You hear my cries
You are my champion
