LYRICS
Deuteronomy 20:4 
For the Lord your God 
Is the One who goes with you 
To fight for you against your enemies 
To give you victory

I was just a shepherd boy 
Without a shield, without a sword
Fed up with the giant’s voice 
Screaming curses to the Lord
I walked down that hill alone
With a pocket full of river stones
But what that Philistine couldn’t see
Is what I had was more than me
See, on my own I’m weak
But my God fights for me

I was servant to the king
Interpreting his crazy dreams
I won’t worship mortal men
So they threw me in the lion’s den
Vicious teeth were all I saw
But something came and shut their jaws
You couldn’t find a scratch on me
In fact that night I fell asleep
Morning came and shocked them all
‘Cause my God fights for me

I stumbled into room 
With alabaster and my wounds 
I could feel their judging eyes 
As I fell before the Christ 
I poured my oil upon His feet 
I didn’t care who saw me weep
I gave up all I had that day 
He should’ve sent me on my way
But instead He lifted up my head 
‘Cause my God fights for me

He’s my shield, He’s my sword 
The victory’s the Lord’s
He’s my shield, He’s my sword 
The victory’s the Lord’s

So what’s your story here today
What’s the giant in your way
Are you trapped and can’t get out
Are you staring down a lion’s mouth
Can you stand before the Lord
Or do you need to hit the floor
It don’t matter what you’ve done 
The battle is already won

So lift your voice with me and sing 
My God fights for me
So lift your voice in victory
My God fights for me

Casting Crowns - East To West (Live) from Altar and the Door

Here I am Lord and I'm drowning
In your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where you found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonight

I know you've cast my sins as far
As the East is from the West
And I stand before you now
As though I've never sinned but today
I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way

Jesus can you show me
Just how far the East is from the West
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other

I start the day the war begins
Endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again
Your [T]ruth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way

Jesus can you show me
Just how far the East is from the West
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other

I know you've washed me white
Turned my darkness into light
I need your peace to get me through
To get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel
But by the truth your word reveals
I'm not holding on to you
But your holding on to me
Your holding on to me

Jesus, you know just how far
The East is from the West
I don't have to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
(The arms of your mercy I find rest)
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other(x2)

(Just how far, the East is from the West) (x3)
