Song Highlight: Warrior

If you've been checking this blog regularly, you may have noticed that the only posts so far have been song highlights. I apologize for that. The past couple of weeks have been extremely busy, but I have some good news! From now on, a new topical post will appear on this blog every Thursday afternoon.

But now, to our song highlight! "Warrior" by Caedmon's Call was released on the 2001 album In the Company of Angels: A Call to Worship. This was the first of two albums by Caedmon's Call that leaned more toward songs of worship. While this album is certainly not Caedmon's best, it does contain some powerful songs. "Warrior" was chosen as our song of reflection this week as we continued our sermon series through the life of Abraham. This week, we read through Genesis 14, which chronicles Abraham's Gideon-like victory over Kedorlaomer and his allies. Only through the power of the almighty warrior could Abraham and his 318 men achieve such a stunning victory. Thus, this song reminds us that our God is still that warrior of old that will protect us and fight for us.

You can listen to the song below.



Lyrics:

The Lord is a warrior
The Lord is mighty in battle
The Lord is warrior
Lord of hosts is he

My Lord is a fortress
He is a sun and a shield
The Lord is a deliverer
To those who put their trust in him

He gives strength unto his people
He guards his own with his right hand
The angel of the Lord camps around the ones who fear him
And delivers them
