My Friend, The Overcomer
Remind him that the snakes and scorpions
Are forever under his feet
Catch him up onto a high mountain
And show him his promised land
Put your sword in his hand
Your battle cry on his lips
The roar of the Lion of Judah
Raging righteously in his heart
The hunger to eviscerate the enemy
Reveal Christ in him
The hope of Glory
-Stephen Pursell, original 3/8/03, revised 11/17/14
Show him his victory in you on the cross
Lift his eyes, Lord
Make yourself known as he seeks your face
Show yourself mighty on his behalf
Bless him, Lord as he puts his trust in you
Forsake not your servant, my friend
Stand up for him your son in court
God of righteousness, Judge of the oppressor
Stand up for him
Father of the fatherless
Caress him as the lover of his soul
Massage him with the oil of Joy
A loving breeze of Life
Soothing words of comfort
Holy Spirit whisper truth
With the tenderness that reached the leper
Touch him, Jesus
Cuddled in your perfect Father's arms
Peaceful in your presence
High above the early plane
Aloft on eagles wings
Lift him up, Lord, Jesus
And save his children
Contend with those who contend with him
Encircling his dear ones in the unseen realms
Heavenly host and dear departed brethren
Fiery chariots 'round about, innumerable
Surround them like Elisha
Bless my dear friend, Lord
Comfort him in his struggle
Let your angels bear him up in their hands
Lest he dash his foot against a stone
Bless his mother and children
