    Behind The Song: Matt Maher Shares The Heart Behind His Single “Your Love Defends Me”

    By Abby Young | Christian News | 0 comment | 6 September, 2017 | 6

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Matt Maher. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his new single “Your Love Defends Me.”

    “This song comes out of Psalm 91, and the idea of God being not a refuge, but our ONLY refuge. I think we can all relate to moments in our lives where who we were (or who we’ll become) comes crashing to the forefront of who we are, and all of a sudden there’s this fight happening inside for who gets control – the past or the future or the present moment now. When you combine that with a social media context that is always recording and documenting everything, it lives on in perpetuity either as an accusation or as a testimony. To put it simply – evil is in the business of accusation but God is in the business of raising up testimony – of who He is and what He’s done. This song talks about how God is a defender. How the love of God is not just a defense, but it’s really the only defense we have that can stand against the inconsistency of ourselves. God is your defense and what He says about you is what matters. That’s what stays.” – Matt Maher

    “Your Love Defends Me” – Lyrics

    You are my joy, You are my song
    You are the well, the One I’m drawing from
    You are my refuge, my whole life long
    Where else would I go?

    Surely my God is the strength of my soul
    Your love defends me, Your love defends me
    And when I feel like I’m all alone
    Your love defends me, Your love defends me

    Day after day, night after night
    I will remember, You’re with me in this fight
    Although the battle, it rages on
    The war already won
    I know the war is already won

    Surely my God is the strength of my soul
    Your love defends me, Your love defends me
    And when I feel like I’m all alone
    Your love defends me, Your love defends me

    We sing Hallelujah
    You’re my portion
    My salvation
    Hallelujah

    Surely my God is the strength of my soul
    Your love defends me, Your love defends me
    And when I feel like I’m all alone
    Your love defends me, Your love defends me
    Surely my God is the strength of my soul
    Your love defends me, Your love defends me
    And when I feel like I’m all alone
    Your love defends me, Your love defends me

    We sing Hallelujah
    You’re my portion
    My salvation
    Hallelujah
    You’re my portion
    My salvation

    Hallelujah
    You’re my portion
    My salvation
