Fight For Me

A friend of mine recently introduced me to the music of Danny Oertli. WOW! I know that this is unusual for me to go off like this, but his song "Fight For Me" really, really resonates with me. Since I can't find the lyrics online, I'm posting them here.

I am praying this for Paul and Gena today as they are dealing with a less-than-ideal situation with their newborn. I have no more details than what Paul gives on his blog. Please pray with me for them today. God, fight for them and their new baby.

Fight For Me
Exodus 14:14, 1 Peter 5:8
words and music by Danny Oertli (listen on his MySpace page) (about.com review)

Sometimes I feel surrounded
Dark spirits in the air
Waiting to destroy me
More than I can bear
A prayer of desperation
With nowhere left to run
Looking to the heavens
Feeling so undone

Fight for me, yeah
And I will remain still
Fight for me, yeah
And I will remain still

He paces in the darkness
And whispers in my ear
Poisoning your mercy
With all my deepest fears
So when I'm weak and broken
Unable to stand
I will wait in silence
And watch your mighty hand

Fight for me, yeah
And I will remain still
Fight for me, yeah
And I will remain still
