ONE SONG TO DESCRIBE MY 2022: DEFENDER COVER

ENG

Greetings
Hello everyone I m glad to bring this great song to the community and join in appreciating God for the grace and the benefits of seeing the end of another year as it were.

I'm sure I felt I had a song that will be a summary of how 2022 went for me.

It was a year of many achievments and how so many realities bettered in my life and I m so grateful for even the later parts of the year where I began to receive more deposits of spiritual developments and growth.

The real awareness of the trip that life was battleground and it's either you were killed or you kill and in that sense that the enemy is standing as resistance against you and trying to do evil you and so you also got to be on the alert we've been sober and watchful and prayerful.

It's also a season of Thanksgiving for all that we have received beyond just life, fellowship godliness.

The people around us are great gifts that we mustn't take for granted and I'm grateful for my loved ones and friends those I found on hive well, really grateful.

When I think about the decisions i made at the beginning of the year to compare them to the outcomes that I have received I m certainly sure that things I see are way more than what I expected even though I didn't tick all the boxes.

I found that the grace of God can make one able to do even beyond what he had thoughts of. Can I return this back to God for his mercy and his grace. Yes. This also makes me choose the song which is been done severally but originally done by Francesca battistelli.

The song is titled defender and it really explains all that God has been to me. A defence system.

If I have gone my way, I probably would be prey.

Lyrics

You go before I know
That You've even gone to win my war
You come back with the head of my enemy
You come back and You call it my victory
You go before I know
That You've even gone to win my war
Your love becomes my greatest defense
It leads me from the dry wilderness
And all I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
You know before I do
Where my heart can seek to find Your truth
Your mercy is the shade I'm living in
You restore my faith and hope again
And all I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
And When I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
And when I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
And when I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I could do is stay still
Praise becomes my breakthrough
My song becomes my triumph
Worship is my warfare
My victory is in you
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, Great Defender
So much better this way
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
All I did was stay still
