[Verse 1]
     G          C
You go before I know
                 G              C
That You've even gone to win my war
                       Em            D
You come back with the head of my enemy
                      Em            D
You come back and You call it my victory

That You've even gone to win my war
                     Em         D
Your love becomes my greatest defence

It leads me from the dry wilderness

Where my heart can seek to find Your truth
