Lyrics

[00:09.16] Now brothers and sisters listen to me
[00:13.03] These are the few things that I leave to thee
[00:17.21] The sword of our fathers with lessons hard taught
[00:21.45] The shield strong and sturdy from battles well fought
[00:25.57] Well this is your sword, this is your shield
[00:30.00] This is the power of love revealed
[00:33.43]
[00:34.31] Carry them with you wherever you go
[00:38.30] And give all the love that you have in your soul
[00:42.73] At times there are dark, dark must cover the earth
[00:46.97] This world's filled with the beauty of God's work
[00:51.15] Hold tight to your brawn, stay righteous, stay strong
[00:55.39] When the days of miracles will come along
[00:58.89]
[00:59.76] Now this is your sword, this is your shield
[01:03.52]
[01:04.02] This is the power of love revealed
[01:07.20]
[01:08.01] Carry it with you wherever you go
[01:12.32] And give all the love that you have in your soul
[01:16.44]
[01:20.87] In the days of despair you can grow hard
[01:25.05] 'Til you close your mind and empty your heart
[01:29.17] If you find yourself staring in the abyss
[01:33.54] Hold tight to your loved ones and remember this
[01:37.72] This shield will protect your secret heart
[01:42.15] The sword will defend from what comes in the dark
[01:46.39] Should you grow weary on the battle field
[01:50.39] Well do not despair, our love is real
[01:54.57]
[01:55.19] This is your sword, this is your shield
[01:59.37] This is the power of love revealed
[02:02.62]
[02:03.37] Carry it with you wherever you go
[02:07.55] And give all the love that you have in your soul
[02:12.04] And give all the love that you have in your soul
[02:15.91]
[02:18.03] Hey! Hey!
