    Behind The Song: Jeremy Camp Shares The Heart Behind His Song “My Defender”

    By Abby Carpenter | Christian News | 0 comment | 14 August, 2018 | 1

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Jeremy Camp. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “My Defender.”

    “We were writing this song and I thought about all the times in scripture where it talks about He is our defender. And I love that word cause you think of how He’s our defense, He’s my protector, He’s our shield, He’s our refuge. Defender is such a strong word. Psalm 119:114 says, ‘You’re my defender and my protector and I will hope in Your promises.’And you know yes physically God protects us and takes care of us and I know that’s the truth, but for me spiritually it’s is a big part of this song and a big part of what I’m talking about. 1 Peter says that the enemy is like a roaring lion, seeking out who he may devour. And so every single day he’s trying to attack us and our mind. When you have fears, lies of doubt, shame and bitterness, all those things that he tries to devour us with I’m so thankful that we have promises of who we are in Christ and what we’ve been given in Christ. I’m so thankful that He fights our battles and that He is our protector.” – Jeremy Camp

    “My Defender” Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    Though I walk through the valley of the shadow
    And I stand face to face with the enemy
    I will know that I am not forsaken
    You surround me when the fire’s at my feet

    [Chorus]
    You’re my defender
    You fight for me
    I will remember
    You’re all I need
    You are my healer
    My remedy
    Against the power of the unknown
    And I will not stand alone
    ‘Cause You’re my defender

    [Verse 2]
    I can see You when the night is closing in
    And I will trust You when it seems that there’s no hope
    And I hold tight to the promise You have given
    ‘Cause this I know and I am confident

    [Chorus]
    You’re my defender
    You fight for me
    I will remember
    You’re all I need
    You are my healer
    My remedy
    Against the power of the unknown
    And I will not stand alone
    ‘Cause You’re my defender
    You’re my defender

    [Bridge]
    I’m saved by the blood
    I’m saved by the blood of Jesus
    I’m saved by the blood
    I’m saved by the blood of Jesus
    I’m saved by the blood
    And I’m saved by the blood of Jesus
    I’m saved by the blood
    And I’m saved…

    [Chorus]
    ‘Cause You’re my defender
    You fight for me
    I will remember
    You’re all I need
    And You are my healer
    My remedy
    Against the power of the unknown
    And I will not stand alone
    ‘Cause You’re my defender

    [Post-Chorus]
    I know that You are for me
    I know You will not fail
    The weapons formed against me
    Cannot prevail because…
