Francesca Battistelli – Defender lyrics

[Verse 1: Steffany Gretzinger]
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, oh-ooh

[Verse 2: Francesca Battistelli]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Francesca Battistelli]
And all I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down, oh
All I did was stay still

[Chorus: Francesca Battistelli]
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, great Defender
So much better Your way

[Verse 3: Steffany Gretzinger]
You know before I do
Where my heart can seek to find Your truth
Your mercy is the shade I'm living in
And You restore my faith and hope again

[Pre-Chorus: Steffany Gretzinger]
And all I did was praise, ohhh, oh-ooh
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down, oh
All I did was stay still, stay still

[Chorus: Francesca Battistelli & Steffany Gretzinger]
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, great Defender
So much better Your way

[Interlude]

[Bridge: Francesca Battistelli & Steffany Gretzinger]
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
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
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

[Chorus: Francesca Battistelli & Steffany Gretzinger]
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better this way
Hallelujah, great Defender
So much better Your way
So much better Your way (I know it's so much better)
So much better Your way (I know it, I know it)

[Outro: Francesca Battistelli & Steffany Gretzinger]
And all I did was praise
All I need to do is worship
Lord, I will just bow down
I'm just gonna stay still
