More Song Lyrics...

The music and lyrics from songs are a frequent mode of encouragement from God, for me. It amazes me how many times a certain song will stand out with specific lyrics that either seem to fit my exact situation or be exactly what I need to hear for that moment. Sometimes they're songs I have heard many times before, but that weren't so applicable at that time. It's kind of like the Bible... living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword! :-) I love to put my ipod on shuffle mode and then wait and see what songs God brings... :-)

The other night I was listening to music and this song came on. It is an "old", familiar song to me, but the lyrics struck me in a different way that night, and I hope they can maybe encourage you as they did me. If not, well, thanks for reading anyhow! Happy Monday!

"Warrior is a Child"

By Twila Paris

Lately I've been winning battles left and right 

But even winners can get wounded in the fight 

People say that I'm amazing 

Strong beyond my years 

But they don't see inside of me 

I'm hiding all the tears  

They don't know that I go running home when I fall down 

They don't know who picks me up when no one is around 

I drop my sword and cry for just a while

 'Cause deep inside this armor 

The warrior is a child  

Unafraid because His armor is the best 

But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest 

People say that I'm amazing 

Never face retreat

But they don't see the enemies 

That lay me at His feet  

They don't know that I go running home when I fall down 

They don't know who picks me up when no one is around 

I drop my sword and and cry for just a while 

'Cause deep inside this armor the warrior is a child  

They don't know that I go running home when I fall down

They don't know who picks me up when no one is around 

I drop my sword and look up for a smile 

'Cause deep inside this armor 

Deep inside this armor 

Deep inside this armor 

The Warrior is a Child
