Dawson Cowals - "I Am With You" (Preview) #NewSingle #ComingSoon #HeIsOurStrength #ChristianRock

This is a preview of my new single coming soon "I Am With You."

I wrote this song many years ago after reading Cliff Graham's fictional account of David and his mighty men in his book "Day of War."

The lyrics come mostly from Isaiah 41:9-16 along with some passages in Psalms and other scriptures. The song is written as a promise from the perspective of God that no matter what challenges or temptations we might face, that he will be with us and give us his strength!

This song is a bit of a battle cry from the Lord, calling us to wage battle with the forces of this world that would try to draw us away from him. It pulls from numerous Psalms where the Lord is described as our rock and fortress, our refuge and shield. He does not expect us to go into battle without him, but rather to rely on his power and strength instead of our own for as it says in Ephesians "our struggle is not against flesh and blood."

Lyrics:
I Am With You

Your enemy, he lies in wait
Just like a lion stalks his prey
Don't be deceived by the tricks of his trade
He'll entice awfully nice, draw you in
It'll seem such a sweet temptation
"What will it hurt if I just give in?"
Famous last words from the dead man walkin'

I am, I am with you
Though the battle rages on
I'll put strength back in your arms
No, you'll never fight alone
I'm with you
I am, I am with you

Whatever challenges you face
Know that I will give you strength
Don't give fear the upper hand
You can overcome all the giants in this land
When the lion roars, you roar back
For your God is greater than his attack
All who wage war against you
Will soon be blown away like chaff

I am, I am with you
I will be your strength and shield
Scatter all your foes
Though you search for enemies
None will oppose
I am the Lord your God
Do not fear, I am here
And I am with you
I am, I am with you
I am (yeah, yeah)

I'll be your rock, I'll be your fortress
Stronghold against the darkness
I'll be your spear, I'll be your shield
The Word of Truth revealed
I'll be the arrows from your bow
Drive your enemies before you
Though you walk through the Valley of Death

(No) I am, I am with you
I will be your strength and shield
Scatter all your foes
Though you search for enemies
None will oppose
I am the Lord your God
Do not fear, I am here
And I am with you

I will be your strength and shield
Scatter all your foes
Though you search for enemies
None will oppose
I am the Lord your God
Do not fear, I am here
I am with you

I am, I am with you
I am, I am with you
I am, I am with you
I am
