Sword and shield

Ephesians 6:14-17

GEORGIANA LIEDER LAHR

I count my blessings every single day—
My thought is filled with Life, and Truth, and Love—
For sword and shield are mine, to guard the way,
And peace enfolds me like a gentle dove.
I have the "sword of.... Spirit," sharp and bright,
To cleave my way through error's lies and fears;
It is the "word of God," and in this light
I cannot be deceived by what appears.
I have the "shield of faith," so true and strong,
Protecting me from evil's every dream;
With faith, I quench the darts of sin and wrong;
I know they cannot hide in Truth's clear beam.
The sword and shield of God are ever mine,
With them I walk the way of Love divine!
