Only Defense 12/08/2018

Lord, I have not redeemed myself,
for no one has the power to save themselves.
Yet, everyone has the power to see,
what Your sacrifice was meant to be.

You are the only defense we need.
It is through Your cross we are truely freed.
A gift so precious is hard to open,
yet one we can put our eternal hope in.

There is no greater hope in all the world,
today's realities are dreams unfurled
Help us to not leave the gift behind,
for there is nothing higher we can hope to find.

Exodus 15:2 The Lord is my strength and
my defense; He has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise Him, my
father's God and I will exalt Him.
