She said, "Dear Knight, go forth and fight,
And take Jesus Christ on thy shoulder with thee."
Thus saith the Knight, "How can I fight,
If Jesus Christ only a spectator be?"
She said, "Dear Knight, please hear me right,
He is your shield, your high tower so strong."
Thus thought the Knight, "I'm in such a plight,
To tell her she's right and yet so very wrong!"
Jesus, my shield, my high tower, my strength,
Living by Spirit inside.
I die for Him if I take Him beside me,
He died for me if I let Him abide.
She said, "Dear Knight, please see the light,
And take Jesus Christ on thy shoulder with thee."
Thus saith the Knight, "My faith is right,
I've got Jesus Christ just where He needs to be."
Jesus, my shield, my high tower, my strength,
Living by Spirit inside.
I die for Him if I take Him beside me,
He died for me if I let Him abide.
Jesus, my shield, my high tower, my strength,
Living by Spirit inside.
I die for Him if I take Him beside me,
He died for me if I let Him abide.
