  • You go before I know
    That You've even gone to win my war
    You come back with the head of my enemy
    You come back and You call it my victory, oh ooh

    You go before I know
    That You've even gone to win my war
    Your love becomes my greatest defense
    It leads me from the dry wilderness

    And all I did was praise
    All I did was worship
    All I did was bow down, oh
    All I did was stay still

    Hallelujah, You have saved me
    So much better Your way
    Hallelujah, great Defender
    So much better Your way

    You know before I do
    Where my heart can seek to find Your truth
    Your mercy is the shade I'm living in
    And You restore my faith and hope again

    And all I did was praise, oh, oh ooh
    All I did was worship
    All I did was bow down, oh
    All I did was stay still, stay still

    Hallelujah, You have saved me
    So much better Your way
    Hallelujah, great Defender
    So much better Your way

    When I thought I lost me
    You knew where I left me
    You reintroduced me to Your love
    You picked up all my pieces
    Put me back together
    You are the defender of my heart
    When I thought I lost me
    You knew where I left me
    You reintroduced me to Your love
    You picked up all my pieces
    Put me back together
    You are the defender of my heart
    When I thought I lost me
    You knew where I left me
    You reintroduced me to Your love
    You picked up all my pieces
    Put me back together
    You are the defender of my heart

    Hallelujah, You have saved me
    So much better this way
    Hallelujah, great Defender
    So much better Your way
    So much better Your way (I know it's so much better)
    So much better Your way (I know it, I know it)

    And all I did was praise
    All I need to do is worship
    Lord, I will just bow down
    I'm just gonna stay still Writer/s: Abel Flores, Jacqie Rivera, John-Paul Gentile, Rita Springer, Steffany Gretzinger
