this is your sword

Singer:bruce springsteen

brothers and sisters listen to me

these are the few things that i leave to thee

this sword of our fathers with lessons hard taught

this shield strong and sturdy from battles well fought

this is your sword

this is your shield

this is the power of love revealed

carry them with you wherever you go

and give all the love that you have in your soul

the times they are dark

darkness covers the earth

but this world's filled with the beauty of god's work

hold tight to your promise

stay righteous

stay strong

for the days of miracles will come along

this is your sword

this is your shield

this is the power of love revealed

carry it with you wherever you go

and give all the love that you have in your soul

in the days of despair you can grow hard

till you close your mind and empty your heart

if you find yourself staring in the abyss

hold tight to your loved ones and remember this

this shield will protect your sacred heart

this sword will defend from what comes in the dark

should you grow weary on the battlefield

do not despair our love is real

this is your sword

this is your shield

this is the power of love revealed

carry it with you wherever you go

and give all the love that you have in your soul

and give all the love that you have in your soul
