Defender (Official Lyric Video) // Rita Springer 

I waited 40yrs to get married for the first time. I worshipped on my way to meet my new husband to this song. God's way is always better.

Played this song while babysitting my granddaughter. She immediately stopped what she was doing and lifted her hands in a worshipful motion. She is 2 and a half, and has not been to church, nor do her parents. To see this song touch her that way, not even knowing about God at all just blessed my heart❤

Please anyone who reads this pray for me. Bladder cancer testing in 2 weeks. I am healed in Jesus Mighty NAME!!!!

The Lord has truly blessed this song! I used to be a gangmember, drug addict, adulterer, idolatry, liar, and dead in my sin and hallelujah Jesus saved me! It so, so much better His way! Please don't lose hope. I am in full-time ministry now! He will show you true love and defend your heart! Give him all the praise and honor!

I decree and declare VICTORY over everyone listening to this song right now......it's legislated in the atmosphere in Jesus mighty powerful working name Amen!!!!

This song got me through one of most difficult times in my life. Sitting in a court room watching the trial of the man who killed my son. This song reminded me who my defender was and it gave me hope and kept me focused on the King!

They sang this song at church yesterday and i just cried thinking about how God has carried me thru the worst situations 😭🥺 Thank you Jesus

To whom ever sees this comment, give it all up to the man above Jesus Christ!! He is our shepherd, our lord & savior 😇 He loves you! I love you! Stay blessed ❤️

Sitting in a new church today and have spent the last month in burnout and collapse. This song is medicine.

I put this song on repeat sometimes. I am a mom of 3 boys, divorced. I know the Lord God will bring me peace in a chapter if life I never thought I'd live. Thanks for this song & for all your comments everyone! God knows the best Way. He will help you. Just talk to Him. He will listen. He loves you!

This song is the song of my life. All i truly did was to let HIM love me, HE did everything.

I don't believe in coincidence but in God's providence and He sent me to this song in His perfect timing! This is His voice speaking to me at a desperate time in my life. God is so amazing and wonderful and awesome and... just everything good and perfect! Thank you Lord God for being the Defender of my heart 😭🙌🏽🙋🏽❤️✝️

I love the part where it says that God comes back with the head of our enemy. It gives me chills it's so regal. The King takes the enemy's head.

😭😭😭😭😭 this is how we win as women of God, pray and worship our Beloved husband Jesus

This song......when you've walked through some hard, hard things and He's walked right there with you through it al..... when youve experienced pain like never before and realized that yes, it truly is possible to experience a broken heart... this song means something to you that it never would otherwise. That's what it is for me, and by the comments, is for so many others, also. This is a song borne out of grief and making it through. But you never forget what that journey with Him was like. It renders you speechless.

I've gone through many battles while renewing my mind to break free from strongholds and about 3 weeks ago probably tore some muscles in my side and was in a lot of pain trying to sleep. God healed me yesterday praise be to his wonderful name! I was doing just this ...worshipping and praising him and spending time with him. Then I realized the pain was gone. Thank you father for your tremendous love for us.

I’m recommitting my life to him now. I was praying and the Lord showed me that there were angels surrounding me where I was sitting at home on my deck.

He fights for us and He does pick up all of our pieces and put us back together again out of the kind of love we can't even begin to understand thank you Jesus for your incredible love that only you can give to us. I can't wait to see You.

When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me, You reintroduce me to Your love... You picked up all my pieces and put me back together... 😭😭😭

I heard this song in worship this morning after a season of physical and emotional burnout and collapse. From the Holy Spirit right to my heart and could not stop the tears. Had to look it up! Like it says in Exodus and in Chronicles, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord! One of the most necessary lessons for us as busy Americans.

I have wedding coming in march 2024 and my wallet is empty, after listening to this song my faith is boosted😢

When I thought I lost me! You knew where I’d 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 Your Way. Thank you Father GOD For your Grace and Mercy for us. 🙏🥺😭💞

I like when God can give you a good song to listen to when your mom is battling with stage 4 cancer and everything around you is falling apart. God bless us all with the strength and courage to know you have this one in your hands 👏🏻

I just start crying whenever I hear this song. God is just wonderful.

The LORD is close to the broken hearted. & He is always there when you need help, just ask. He got me out of a dangerous situation when I asked for help from Him.

Thank You Jesus for finding me when I was convinced I was lost and You had left me!!

This song fills my heart up with so much peace. I grew up in the foster care system but the lord blessed me with helping me realize that I was never alone. His word says that when your father and mother forsake you i the lord will receive you. God has received me he calls me his own. ❤

Our father has saved us. With the precious blood of his only begotten son. And the holy spirit he sends us to help as we need it. Glory to our father God. Praise Jesus Christ

There are seasons when songs seem dead and seasons when songs come to life. This one, for me, has come to life 😭🙌

Heavenly Father, you know my prayer, thank you for your mercy, thank you for fighting our battles. Thank you for being my DEFENDER.

This is literally the soundtrack of my life😢❤

Lord we need you now... go before this situation. We trust in you Lord.

My mom died the other day I need Him more than ever it's so hard😭

One of my favorite songs! ❤ In August 2018, I was pregnant with my daughter. She was due October 9th. My BP started raising a little so as precaution, my obgyn sent me for stress tests and ultrasounds 2x a week. What should've been a quick appointment went on for over 1 hour. The tech said oh baby is tired and kept being positive because there was a heart beat and everything appeared fine only my daughter wouldn't move at all. So she secretly called my ob after excusing herself from the room. She kindly told me after coming in that I'd need to go to the hospital for observation and was being admitted. I seriously almost had a breakdown and was never so afraid in my life. The nurse Amanda was extremely sweet and reassured me that my baby girl was moving. She asked could she pray over us, being Christian I was so happy that she wanted to! She got to know us while she did tests. My husband's was almost an hour away and mom was on her way. Amanda kept me company. She asked if I knew this song after I told her that I had quit believing in God but that He spoke to me in a way that I understood and that He brought me back. I was living a reckless life and it's changed dramatically. Amsnda sang this song to me as it played on her phone. I'll never forget her kindness! Sure helped me so much. And after many tests including an OTC test, we got to leave 24 hrs later. I came back to be induced 10/1 and got to request Amanda. Nothing went smoothly lol and I didn't have my daughter until 10/3. I pushed for 3.5 hrs and ended up being a C section. Amanda eventually had to leave and I had a different nurse. As I was pushing and was terrified again. My husband turned on IHOP KC and they were singing this song. I felt relief and like God was telling me that He was there and that everything was fine. Finally after being exhausted we did a c section. She's a healthy almost 15 m old girl today! She loves this song too. We've sang it since she was in mommy's tummy! And Amanda is on my Facebook and I recommend her to everyone who goes to have their baby. She prayed over my sister also a few months later when she had my nephew. She's a wonderful nurse and just so thankful that God sends people to us to show His love.

So much better your way! 🙌🏽

Psalmist Rita Springer singing the heart of God to a generation!

He sends his servants to help us,to love us back from the enemies lies,tricks ruses Praise him for his mighty acts of power in our lives.

Lord Your way is so much better 🙏🏼😭

Beautiful praise! I am Brazilian and met through the translation of dear Ana Paula Valadão, and I was impacted! HALLELUJAH! THE LORD JESUS ​​is our #DEFENDER! 🔥😭❤

This song brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. Thank you Rita! He has saved us!!

This song should not have no thumbs down. I mean. Really!

This song is absolutely incredibly amazing it really made me sob. Every Christian should take these lyrics to heart. Extremely anointed and beautiful. May the LORD bless all of our brothers and sisters in the faith. Hallelujah!!!!

YOU ARE MY DEFENDER....IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE 💖🙏

You picked up all my pieces, put me back together.. My God, thank you..i really want to give up on everythig that i did, but You reminds me that helps always come for all who believe in You Jesus.. thank you so much..

This song should have way more comments. God is too good to us.

I love this song. It truly carried me thru caring for my ailing parents & helped me usher them both into His presence. God bless you Rita.

I hadn’t heard this until singing it in worship at a family members church last Sunday. That’s one of the most powerful worship experiences I’ve been blessed to share in. Christ truly is our defender, healer and friend; but so much more. Trust Christ, His way is truly greater, more peaceful than imaginable and overwhelmingly abundant even when it doesn’t look like it to us. God bless each of you. I praise Jesus for the blessing of us even being allowed the opportunity of worshiping Him. He is so patient and incredibly good to us.

“All I did was praise”!! 🙌🙏 Yes! When the praise goes up, the blessings come down!

THIS SONG IS GETTING ME THROUGH 3+ YEARS OF TRAUMATIC EVENTS!

Thank you God for loving me and helping find my way back!

One of the most beautiful song that I’ve ever heard. 🙌🙏❤️🙌🙏❤️

My defender. My savior.

When I thought I lost me you knew where I left me. You saved me. You reintroduce me to your love. You pick up all the pieces. Put me back together you are my defender of my Jesus my God.

"Your mercy is the shade I'm living in..." amen.

This song and her others were my oxygen during some of my deepest pain. Psalm 66:9 TLB "for He holds our lives in His hands, and He holds our feet to the path."

Such a beautiful rendition of this POWERFUL, LIFE CHANGING SONG. On repeat this whole coming week! Thank you. Glory to our Lord Jesus!

Thank you Rita you are such a Godly Woman. I feel so blessed I got to see you Live ❤️❤️❤️ Great performance MAY Yeshua Jesus Christ of Nazareth continue to bless you & your handsome son🙏

Thank you Rita! Thank you Jesus for pouring out this radiant Grace!!!

Thanks be to God who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus the Anointed one and His Anointing!

This song is my praise song EVERYDAY NO MATTER WHAT has happened no matter what is going on in the world! The words of this song are so real that I've had no prayer in me left but I hear this song and I can't help but to praise God!! Thank you for allowing the Lord to work through you to create such a beautiful beautiful song ❤️

This song has manifested in my life! 🤩 Praise JESUS! ♥️ Thank You LORD. . . He is truly the Defender of our Hearts! ♥️♥️♥️

played this at church in my worship team with the guitar and man i felt great

My defender ❤️ everything I am I owe to you. All glory be to you forever, Jesus. A million years of worship would still not be enough to thank you for your love.

All I did was bow down all I did was stay still ❤️

Saw her lead worship today 4/4/2021....This song right here.......AMAZING!!!!!

I heard this song for the first time in our worship and it went right through my heart. Just like everyone that is broken and held unto Him and continues to hold unto Him and be in His grace, this is my testimony and the Lord God did this for me. He saved me where I stood. I was good enough for Him just as I am. Hallelujah my King!

Thank you for this powerful song Rita. I'm so grateful 🙏🏽

I remember when i took that step of faith like that lady with the flow of blood. And the Lord healed me and is still healing me. Its a process yes it hurts but he loves me that much to heal me internally to serve him better and love him better in my walk with him. My childhood trauma does not define me nor does it own me. I am a new creation in christ. My identity is in christ and not in my abandonment nor rejection nor anything i went through. Jesus defines me. My creature is in me to live the life i should live. I can’t change the past but i can live the future in Jesus Christ.

I've been singing this song for a couple of years now, go to know it through Bethel and Maveric City. Rita this song is a victory song for me personally, thanks for answering God's call on your life. To worship! Bless you

So much better your way 🙌🙏 My God.

I remember when I came Home From worship and connected too this song and came home and kind of worshiped in my room it just made me feel so happy I Love you Jesus ❤

I left God in my life because of difficulties and Some how the grace of God pulled me back to him. And the lyric that when i thought i lost me God knew where i left me. It was so amazing to hear this song knowing thay God never abandons you and knows where you left on him. I am so happy God saved me from being lost. I just pray if you know anyone lost that God's love just brings them back to the light of salvation

Glory be to God. What an amazing God he is! Love you, love you, love you, Lord..

Great song for quarantine anyone this 2020?

This is the first song I've heard from the ones you have made. Thank you for translating something that we all feel at certain points in our lives as believers of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have been so much blessed by this song. 💗

When I knew I lost me, you came looking for me, and reintroduced me, you JESUS, picked up all my pieces.... GOD, I can't live this life without you, I would rather have JESUS, than anything this works can offer🙏🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭😭😭

This got me through a major life transition when I left the company I stayed in for many years. God is good and is full of love and mercy. He always provides and heals all wounds. He restores everything that is broken and moves me forward to a better path.

Amen so much better His way🙌

Yes Amen all I did was worship and You gave me the victory Thank you Lord Jesus

God's simple truths have a way of bringing us joy that you can't find anywhere else. Praise you Lord!

I'm gonna sing this song every day, until the lord takes me home😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I know I am welcome to his doors yet I was still struggling before to welcome him to mine. I should've kept my doors always open to him, not only when I am experiencing the lowest of my life. Do not be afraid to open your arms to him as he believes on you and all we need to do is believe in him and ourselves to pursue our goals. It is good to feel, God is good.

My first introduction to Rita Springier. What a beautiful song!! What a friend we have in Jesus!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Praise God thank You for fighting for me when my enemies came against me I know You have been protecting me my whole life❤❤❤❤❤❤

And when I thought I lost me You knew where I left me Thank You Jesus it's so much better your way

His ways are higher! Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord!

Beautiful, beautiful Savior! Thank You that we can express our self to You in music.... Thank you!

NOBODY sings this song like Rita 🙌🏾💕

I’ve had this song on repeat for over a month. 2023 was a rough year and even though I’ve heard this song before they sung it at a church I was visiting a month ago and the lyrics were the story I’ve been living but.. He picked up all my pieces and is putting me back together… piece by piece and I’m so thankful. For whatever this song has brought you through, I thank God and pray for you.

One of the best songs I've heard in 2019, all glory to God for His inspiration.

This is a beautiful and true song in Jesus Name Amen. Love! Love!

This song got me through a painful, ugly divorce ♥️. God defended me; and I didn’t lose my house, He did a miracle!🙌👑🦁

Wow! This is the most beautiful worship song I’ve heard in a long time. Thank You Jesus, & Rita for this song! ❤️🕊🙌🔥

All I did was praise and all I did was worship

This song has one of my favorite bridges I've ever heard in a worship song. Just musical and lyrical excellence in every way, with a truly meaningful message!
