This song was such a blessing to my family and I when we were going through hard times last year. And we still are doing. Difficulty upon difficulty, pain and suffering – but in the midst of all that, “I will say of the Lord, You are my Shield….”

With a song like this, you need to use the lyrics to make it your own. So, He’s your Shield, your Strength, your Fortress and your Deliverer. Declare it in your life. Declare it to your circumstances. Declare it in the face of your enemy and in the face of your adversity. God’s big enough to be your Deliverer at the same time as He’s mine as well. It’s not exclusive. Decide to own His promises right now; sing this song and make it your own.

He has made me glad….. and He can make you glad too.

I will bless the Lord forever
I will trust Him at all times
He has delivered me from all fear
He has set my feet upon a Rock

And I will not be moved
And I’ll say of the Lord….
You are my Shield
My Strength
My Portion
Deliverer
My Shelter
Strong Tower
My very present Help in time of need

Whom have I in Heaven but You?
There’s none I desire beside You

You have made me glad
And I’ll say of the Lord….
You are my Shield
My Strength
My Portion
Deliverer
My Shelter
Strong Tower
My very present Help in time of need

‘Made me Glad’ by Miriam Webster

Also take a look at Psalm 103:1-5:

“Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and all that is within me,
    bless his holy name!
 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits,
 who forgives all your iniquity,
    who heals all your diseases,
 who redeems your life from the pit,
    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
 who satisfies you with good things
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s”

Make it your own today!

Be blessed!
