The Best Defense
The Best defense is Christ's Holiness
to guard our scheming hearts
To shield us from temptation-
protect us from Hell's fiery darts
He garrisons our weakness-
his armor will not fail
A fortress in our battles-
His righteousness prevails!
The best defense is Christ's redemption
that in our heart abides
To turn us from our sinful ways
and on to safety guides
A refuge for our troubled times-
a haven for our rest
A sanctuary for our souls-
a shelter of blessedness!
