Defender
by Francesca Battistelli, Steffany Gretzinger

Album: Own It


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
