LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY JUST ONE DEFENDER
Lord God, You are my Just One Defender against wavering faith-silence
Thank You for guarding me despite worldliness’ prevalence
Midst persecution in the journey toward heavenly excellence
As I hide in You to witness Your light’s eternal opulence.
Lord God, You are my Just One Defender against imprisoning futile boredom
Thank You for illumining me despite assertions of humanistic wisdom
Midst temptation in the guise of enjoyable freedom
As I trust You to participate in advancing Your kingdom.
Lord God, You are my Just One Defender against smiting false judgment
Thank You for teaching me despite controversies of doctrines’ disagreement
Midst difficulties in obeying instruction and commandment
As I abide in You to experience Your good cheer’s fulfillment.
Lord God, You are my Just One Defender against threatening curses
Thank You for shielding me despite deceitful foes’ embraces
Midst unbelief in claiming what Your Word promises
As I rely in You to practice sincere dependence that blesses.
Lord God, You are my Just One Defender against accusing stare
Thank You for encouraging me despite attacks of fearfulness-scare
Midst struggles in overcoming adversaries that bring despair
As I stay in You to be enclosed within Your deliverance-care.
Lord God, You are my Just One Defender against taunting evil information
Thank You for subduing me despite pride’s exaltation
Midst mockery in expressing earnest sin-confession
As I remain in You to do best with pure devotion.
Lord God, You are my Just One Defender against jeopardizing hopelessness
Thank You for comforting me despite offences causing restlessness
Midst weakness in persevering toward victorious steward-faithfulness
As I confide to You since You hear me in my prayerfulness.
