Analysis of He Is My Light And Sword
God is the creator
and
he is my light and sword
he is holy and wonderful
he is my rock and my shepard
he is love and mercy through a quiet storm
upon
the quiet shores
thus
he prepareth a table before me
with
water and bread
he is the air
that
i breathe
and
he maketh
a quiet place for me
to rest my weary head
while
moving behind the scene
and
through
his holy word
He is my light and sword
