You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It cannot hide the light
Whom shall I fear
You crush the enemy
Underneath my feet
You are my sword and shield
Though troubles linger still
Whom shall I fear
I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
My strength is in Your name
For You alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in Your hands
I’m holding on to Your promises
You are faithful
You are faithful

The Lord is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the Stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked advance against me to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
Psalms 27:1-3
Sometimes life gets tough and we feel that God has abandoned us. The only thing that can bring us down is believing the lies that Satan would tell us. The lies are subtle. They sound so true… ‘You are not pretty’; ‘You are not loved’; ‘You have no friends’…the list can go on and on. But we have a Redeemer. We have a Restorer. We have hope of a better life. We just have to have faith and believe.
God’s love is enough to surround each of us. Find a time to spend time in His Word. Whatever is your best time…whether it is in the morning, afternoon, or evening. It could be your lunchtime. It could be during breaktime. Make time to enter into the Presence of God. He will repay you for your efforts. You will be blessed in new ways.
I love this song! If we could only see those Angel Armies. I guess that’s what faith is for…..the evidence if things unseen.
Tina, phrases of this song pop into my mind quite frequently. I love the reminder that God is ALWAYS by my side. And then the assurance in the verses you shared…I can have confidence in Him that it is my enemy (satan) who will fall, not me, because God is my Stronghold.
Praise God, He is indeed worthy of our time and devotion.
Thank you for sharing today. <3
thanks for the reminder of this wonderful song, tina. <3

The God of angel armies
Is always by my side!"
