Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤
I lost my parents as a Kid, 2 years old and I have always had a void , a yarning for mom and Dad in my life. At 12 I gave my life to Christ and He is my Dad.. His love is Amazing. I have nothing but with him I have everything 🥹

Dear Loving Father, to whoever reads this message I ask that whatever they are struggling with, the troubles they are going through. I ask that you be with them and lookafter them. I ask you to give them strength to carry on. Amen🙏🙏🙏
Today I was feeling very down, I didn't understand why things were falling apart when all I did was pray and worship with a pure heart,but as I was listening to this...God revealed to me how I didn't have faith in Him...how when things didn't work out at the time I wanted them to I'd get discouraged and lose all hope in Him. But I'm coming back to you Oh Lord, firmly rooted and established in faith...I'm sorry for ever doubting you, I'm sorry for not fully trusting in you.
this is exactly me right now, feeling down and wondering why God was "letting me" feel this way, and I realized that I lacked faith. I lost hope and refused to move forward in most things that I know I should be doing. I'm coming back to the Lord.
Ive heard this song many times. But never saw the video. This is truly a worship song to the Great l AM. Its so much better His Way. How he restores our faith. All we have to do is worship!! Halleujah!
I have been praying and thinking about STEFFANY Gretzinger I just wanted her to know that someone out here is praying with you and for you. Your ministry blessed me and has continued to have impact in my walk with Our Lord JESUS. I am here to say I miss your ministry 💕🥹🥹
To the one who's reading this, I hope you are doing alright, I hope that all the pain you are facing right now will turn into a great achievement. Always remember that God is always with us. He will bless, guide, and protect us. 💗

Steffany Gretzinger is a beautiful example of a heart after God. I learn so much from her worship and heart toward God which makes her my favorite. Much blessings her way.
Hey guys I don't know if I like the lyric, " You come back with the head of my enemy..." Like this is a vicious military Vietnam U.S. Army Veteran, you know? Our God has His ways of dealing with our enemies but this one does not seem like it, He won't come back and be-gift me with a cut off head of my enemy. Lol
To whoever is reading this. You are loved, you are valued and you have great purpose. There is something greater just around the corner. Have faith and everything is possible 💚🖤
When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me, You reintroduced to your love. You picked up all my pieces, put me back together You are the defender of my heart.
I know two languages. And I try and try to give all the glory to God, but the world do not reach. Oh GOD how great is your power and deeps your holy presence.
I heard this song at my church exactly one week after my long-term relationship ended, and it was sung by one of my best friends. This part started and I immediately broke down sobbing uncontrollably. So powerful and necessary.

@@dariosanchez667 In the Bible, David did this to Goliath. The lyric doesn't mean that literally, it's a symbol of victory, as happened to David, who glorified God by defeating Goliath, whom "defied the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel." (1 Samuel 17:45). Hope I've helped!
@@dariosanchez667 ☝what Ana said. The song is referencing the old testament where the Israelites stood still and saw the deliverance of the Lord from their enemies. It just so happens that a sign of victory back then was bringing back the head of the enemy, which you can see in several passages throughout the old testement.
I was woke up this morning then I saw this song. This Morning here in the Philippines August 17 is my birthday, then while I listen to this song I realize How God defending me through all the problems, storms of my life, works of the enemy but all of this doesn't put me down because God gave me Victory for all of this He is my Great Defender. :)
This worship song brings healing to my heart. Recovering from a burnout and a heart inflammation at the same time is not easy. But He’s my defender, He’s the defender of my heart.
Really thankful to this song as I am always reminded God will always be my Defender. I am attending law school since 2015 and every enrolment has been very difficult because everytime there are oppositions like finances and work schedules but I kept on fighting as I know and believe in my heart that this is God's dream for me. That someday I will work as a Congresswoman and establish God's kingdom in the government. 😊
I’m listening to this several yrs after it was posted but it’s still as powerful as when first written! I m leaving behind deep depression this yr 2023! Decided I’m not bringing it forward so this song is fresh again for me. His love has never given up on me. Praise and worship 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Steff always ministers Gods heart to mine!
The 802 people that gave this song/video a thumbs down may GOD heal your hardened/broken heart....WOW this song hit me in my spirit. THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU FATHER GOD my great DEFENDER you have saved me. It's so much better your way!!!
The way She Worships with all her heart and soul always gives me goosebumps, you can feel her sincerity, and it brings the presence of God wherever I may be hearing the song.
I started a journal recently, putting thoughts on the page and let Truth speak to it, and this has been exactly my experience. God defends my heart. I am heard, I don’t need to fight to be heard.
Such a great thought my brother. Yes, you are heard! God will ever go before us to fight for us. It is good that you are journaling. I have been journaling for some years now and have kinda gotten away from it. I love putting my thoughts to paper and the many things that l hear coming from the voice of HOLY SPIRIT. Stay on the journey blessed one. May ABBA Father always be with you. Peace and God bless
This song has been ministering to me powerfully for the last 5 days. I was sick with COVID and locked down with fever, aches, chills, and headaches for about 4 days. It showed me how frail I am and how frail my faith is. He showed me how his faithfulness is not based on mine. Rather, He picked up the pieces and put me back together, yet again He put me on the Solid Rock after feeing lost, distant from Him. I was in the wilderness but from there He rescued me. There’s nothing like His unconditional love.
Man... there’s many singers in the world, then there’s worshippers. There’s so much talent, then there’s an anointing. Nothing compares, this woman loves Jesus with her whole heart 🙌🏼🙌🏼
The first part of the song is exactly what happened to me.... God won my war, I wasn't even aware that someone was fighting me.The person later called and confessed that I am very lucky and I should keep praying to my God.... "You go before I know, that You've even gone to win my war" 🙌🙌🙏🙏...God my Great Defender
Jesus is my Savior and always gonna be. When I was dealing with eating disorder for 15 years and he helped me for that and now am healthy then I ever been before and it's all Glory to God
Father God thank you for the gift of life Make me to know your ways, o Lord;teach me your path. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you i wait all the day long Amen 🙏🙌
When I stray from my Church I never really know why. I was baptized in water on my own accord and the loving support from the most amazing Pastor's and church body, it was so much more meaningful because I was baptized as a baby and went to Church and CCD classes for year's and really didn't learn anything, now after only 6 year's as a Born Again Christian I got to know Jesus on a personal level like a knew friend and my defender. So this song really speaks to my heart. No matter what I do or how long I stray I know the Grace of God and my intimate relationship with his Son they will never give up on me. Thank you Jesus for all you went through to save me from my sins and thank you for this song that reassures me that you are my greatest defender and will never leave me. Even when thing's look really bad I know I will prevail in you're time not mine, it may take some praying over and over but you're always there to lift me up and to answer my prayers, when it seems like all hope is gone you show up and never let me fall as long as I trust and believe in you I know you are my greatest defender and for that I bow down to you and know everything will be ok.Sorry everyone this was supposed to be short and sweet but I needed to get this out and now I will look back and use this as a testimony and prayer. Glory be to God and his precious son Jesus Christ's love is flowing through me and I just can't stop writing on this platform. I hope you forgive me putting my faith in all that read this and say she couldn't stop because love is guiding her and that would be the absolute truth. Blessings to all of you.🙏🙌💞
I remember the first time I heard this song. I had just been discharged from the hospital after two months of being there fighting for my life. The surgeons working so hard to save my life. My family was called and and was told to come see me as I might not have much longer. I had four surgeries in under three years. I believe that God used the surgeons to literally put me back together. Which takes this song to another level and has so much more deeper meaning. God saved my life and I am forever. Grateful that he is my great defender.
This video caused me to weep. The entire day I had been sad and just wept (or at least most of the time), but at that point of time I got tired of being sad and in my mind I prayed: "Father, give me a new song." A few moments later I felt the desire to sing, so I changed the room and the result was the spontaneous song "Alleluia, for the Lord our God". Alleluia, for the Lord our God, He reigns!!
How the Holy Spirit moves from place to place city to city state to state... with one song of worship it shows how glorious God is and forever will be 😍
As much as I’ve loved this song... today for some miraculous reason, the part that says Prince of Peace wrecked me!!! Even as I type it I’m overwhelmed 😭😭😭😭 so overcome with emotions of grace and gratitude for Christ being My Prince Of Peace!!! Winning all my battles and Victoriously already won the war against me!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Often I wake up with these very words gently whispered into my heart: Prince of Peace You fight for us....Prince of Peace You fight for....us 😥💕❤️. I melt every time.💕
This song got me thru the first year of my recovery from addiction to meth. Jesus did pick up all the pieces and He put me back together. He reintroduced me to His love! He is my defender!!! He rescued me! Hallelujah!!
This is so timely. I'm in a season of quiet, not praying, not confronting. Just worship and trust. Hard, so hard. But may we fight FROM victory in Christ, not FOR it.
Jesus Christ give me blessings of korean pink vagina always and forever like Korean skin girls jisoo jihyo jooe iu tyla Nancy mcdonie Danielle kyla lalisa monoban jellieyeye sia Jennie Kim Zendaya daiyutong ShaniayànjellybeanCeline yeye Ninagiradosittijellieyeyenyasia wag mamatay Ng walang Pera at love always safe and protected from all bad gossipeers people to my life at to all bad people outside the house yes amen thank you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes wow so true... i just love your passion sis... man you sing with such justo... from deep with n thats what these songs so uniquely different from the rest.
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 🙌🏾😭🙌🏾😭🙌🏾
❤😂❤ Jesus Christ my dreams and plans mag travel around the Philippines and around the world si amber Scholl,Jamie Chiu, viy Cortez Francis candiyey, addison Rae Sarah wentsolo, jellieyeye jisoo ninagiradosittijellieyeyenyasia yes amen thank you
the part of the lyrics where it says God reintroduced us His love and He picks up the pieces... I cried hard 2 years ago. I guess that is when He reintroduced me to His love. I didn't realize I was so broken until that moment of worship during my church event. God is good.
Joy quiets her soul....and hides...waiting with a smile....to burst from a dark corner into the light of Family...and cause a brother...a sister....to giggle.....hmm..is it strength? Yes! Pure and undefiled!
The safest place in the universe is on the presence of God, doing His desire and desiring His presence, then on this loop for sure will lead us for His eternal presence in heaven!
Yes, yes, yes Father. When I thought I lost me, You knew where to find me. You put me back together and reintroduced me to your love. The day to day activities of being in this world, working, taking care of a family can cause one to get lost and to start to feel overwhelmed. While the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, our safety is in praise and worship, in staying still. You are our Defender. Father, I thank you for this song. I thank you that you hear and that I do not have to struggle and hope that you hear me. You are my Defender. You have saved me. I thank you for Jesus. I thank you Father precious Holy Spirit. I thank Father that you never ever change and your thoughts toward me are good. Let me be a light today. Let someone experience your love through me. Let me share your awesomeness with others the way Bethel Music share with me. I am staying still, I am praising and worshiping. You are showing me your love and I receive it. You are my Defender. Love, your daughter in Christ, Mitz
When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me, You reintroduced to your love. You picked up all my pieces,put me back together You are the DEFENDER of my heart. Received so much healing from this song. May God grant you grace upon grace to continue in this ministry. May all of you Be blessed
So much better your way……. You call it my victory . I continue to surrender to your will my father . All I have , all I ever had , all I will have is you Jehovah.
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.😭🙏
I can totally visualize Steffany bursting out in prophetic song just going about her day... when no one is watching. Thank you for your heart of praise and allowing God to use you on the front lines of furthering His Kingdom! 💗
All I did was praise ... all I did was worship! BUT GOD!!! Thank You Jesus for being my great defender. Thank you for picking up all the pieces and putting my broken life back together again! Holy, holy, holy are You God!!!
Amazing beautiful harmonies, I absolutely love this girl on the right. I think she is in every Bethel video. The constant addition of her voice to these beautiful praises is something that most might miss, but adds so much to the praises rising from Bethel. Love the gift God has given you, and how humbly you use it for His glory!!
Jesus! How much Holy spirit did God pour into this woman. He seemingly spilled the whole bucket. Ive never seen God on a person so strong in my life. im praying from the bottom of my soul that you protect this woman and continue to use her. I don't even know her and i would lay down my life to protect her. Just WoW !!!
"Great defender." We really don't need to fight for more but let God defends, shout for praise and stillness of every hearts. Thank you so much Bethel, especially to Steffany Gretzinger! To God be all the glory! Whoooooooo 👆❤💓🌟
There isn’t anyone in the world or the universe that will go in over their head for us ,there is nothing that can hold Him back from saving us ,I love you Lord God all the worship all the praise is Yours 🙏♥️
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2348122050178) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you..
The Grace of God giving us all victory, hope, piece and everything all we did is to worship him, praise him for all the things that he has done on the Cross. :) Hallelujah
I love this song with a burning passion. And mainly it’s because of the line “You come back with the head of my enemies.” Hear me when I say this but that line means so much. Not only is that phrase biblically correct (due to the story of David and Goliath) but it’s powerful. Worship songs today all have one main issue : they praise the pleasant things of the Bible. They don’t praise the parts of the Bible that are graphic or hard to hear for some. God commands us to read His Word and worship Him and Him alone. Never once did He say to only praise the light and airy and pleasant things. We must read and praise and pray over it all. Including the harsher messages. They show how radical His love is for us. It shows that He would rid us of our enemies to show us how much He did. The story of Jesus dying on the cross is in so many songs, but it’s romanticized. He died in the most horrific way imaginable, beaten till He bled, bruised until he couldn’t stand, nailed to a crude cross cut from a tree with large and long spikes by His hands and feet. Stripped naked and mocked by all who watched and made fun of until His last breath....... And He would do it again in a heartbeat if His Father commanded because He loves us, because He loves YOU that much. That death is explicitly shown in the Bible and has to be portrayed as such. God gave us His Word to read and abide by, not to exclude from our worship and to edit to make it easier to hear.
All I did was praise, all I did was worship, all I did was down, all i did was stay still... Thats when God blessed me with one of the greatest blessings! God is so good!
Ooh what a time off worship. I woke up with this song in my heart. He's my DEFENDER....OOOH HALLELUJAH. I just need to worship HIM AND PRAISE HIM AND HE'LL FIGHT FOR ME. I've going through some stuff, but hadn't it BEEN FOR THE MIGHTY POWER OF GOD I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPEN TO ME. HE'S MY DEFENDER, STRENGTH, PROTECTOR, PROVIDER, SAVIOUR, MY SALVATION, MY ROCK, MY SONG, MY HEALER, MY COMPANION, MY FRIEND, FATHER, SHIELD, SHELTER, MY ABIDING PLACE, MY REFUSE, MY LIGHT,..... so yes HALLELUJAH HE GAS SAVED ME, PUT ME BACK TOGETHER, REINTRODUCED TO HIS LOVE. WOW WOW WOW.
“When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me” This is genuine reassurance that God really has our backs. I’ve received and learned a lot from this song. This song is so encouraging, especially if you are failing to believe that you can bounce back from falling off and if you’re hopeless.❤️❤️
Now the Hour cometh and now is when the True Worshippers shall Worship the Father in Spirit and in truth!!!! (John 4:23) Amen and amen thanks sister and God bless Good Job Hallelujah glory be to God Awesome Brilliant!!!!!
Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him.

Don't worry about faith. Look to Jesus and faith will be there. He is the author and finisher of faith. God bless u.

Faith isn’t complicated. All God desires us to do is worship and bow to him. He’s got the rest for us!
Add love Him and strive to love His creations to the list of "All God desires us to do" :)

When the days seem dark and dreary, don't forget to sing "great defender" ... it's so much better this way.
This song has been ministering to me powerfully for the last 5 days. I was sick with COVID and locked down with fever, aches, chills, and headaches for about 4 days. It showed me how frail I am and how frail my faith is. He showed me how his faithfulness is not based on mine. Rather, He picked up the pieces and put me back together, yet again He put me on the Solid Rock after feeing lost, distant from Him. I was in the wilderness but from there He rescued me. There’s nothing like His unconditional love.
Man... there’s many singers in the world, then there’s worshippers. There’s so much talent, then there’s an anointing. Nothing compares, this woman loves Jesus with her whole heart 🙌🏼🙌🏼
The first part of the song is exactly what happened to me.... God won my war, I wasn't even aware that someone was fighting me.The person later called and confessed that I am very lucky and I should keep praying to my God.... "You go before I know, that You've even gone to win my war" 🙌🙌🙏🙏...God my Great Defender
Love the Backingvocal Girl!

kim danial Marthinsen I’m working with a young teen struggling with this....will you share your testimony with me at nappk@yahoo.com?
Wonderful! Keep your eyes on Him, His wonders never end!
kim danial Marthinsen Jesus is my savior too I’m glad he saved you may god bless you again 💖💖🙏🙏
I believe I will be healthier than ever before THAT was a struggle for me but your testimony shows and tells me that all things is possible with HIM ❤
Father God thank you for the gift of life Make me to know your ways, o Lord;teach me your path. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you i wait all the day long Amen 🙏🙌
When I stray from my Church I never really know why. I was baptized in water on my own accord and the loving support from the most amazing Pastor's and church body, it was so much more meaningful because I was baptized as a baby and went to Church and CCD classes for year's and really didn't learn anything, now after only 6 year's as a Born Again Christian I got to know Jesus on a personal level like a knew friend and my defender. So this song really speaks to my heart. No matter what I do or how long I stray I know the Grace of God and my intimate relationship with his Son they will never give up on me. Thank you Jesus for all you went through to save me from my sins and thank you for this song that reassures me that you are my greatest defender and will never leave me. Even when thing's look really bad I know I will prevail in you're time not mine, it may take some praying over and over but you're always there to lift me up and to answer my prayers, when it seems like all hope is gone you show up and never let me fall as long as I trust and believe in you I know you are my greatest defender and for that I bow down to you and know everything will be ok.Sorry everyone this was supposed to be short and sweet but I needed to get this out and now I will look back and use this as a testimony and prayer. Glory be to God and his precious son Jesus Christ's love is flowing through me and I just can't stop writing on this platform. I hope you forgive me putting my faith in all that read this and say she couldn't stop because love is guiding her and that would be the absolute truth. Blessings to all of you.🙏🙌💞
Psalm 119 was today's devotion and you speak to this. God bless you!
Yay! May you continue to flourish and triumph knowing how much God loves you and who you are in Christ: accepted and beloved!
Thank you for Letting Him use you
I remember the first time I heard this song. I had just been discharged from the hospital after two months of being there fighting for my life. The surgeons working so hard to save my life. My family was called and and was told to come see me as I might not have much longer. I had four surgeries in under three years. I believe that God used the surgeons to literally put me back together. Which takes this song to another level and has so much more deeper meaning. God saved my life and I am forever. Grateful that he is my great defender.
God is such a beautiful creature. So gentle, so pure, so holy, so understanding
I can’t stop crying....... Thank you Jesus!
Me too
Jesus is great 💖💖💖
Aww I pray the Holy Spirit comforts you 🧡
This video caused me to weep.
The entire day I had been sad and just wept (or at least most of the time), but at that point of time I got tired of being sad and in my mind I prayed: "Father, give me a new song."
A few moments later I felt the desire to sing, so I changed the room and the result was the spontaneous song "Alleluia, for the Lord our God".
Alleluia, for the Lord our God, He reigns!!
How the Holy Spirit moves from place to place city to city state to state... with one song of worship it shows how glorious God is and forever will be 😍
As much as I’ve loved this song... today for some miraculous reason, the part that says Prince of Peace wrecked me!!! Even as I type it I’m overwhelmed 😭😭😭😭 so overcome with emotions of grace and gratitude for Christ being My Prince Of Peace!!! Winning all my battles and Victoriously already won the war against me!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
13Chosen33 yes!!! 👏👏🙌💗
Often I wake up with these very words gently whispered into my heart: Prince of Peace You fight for us....Prince of Peace You fight for....us 😥💕❤️. I melt every time.💕
Amen!
This song got me thru the first year of my recovery from addiction to meth. Jesus did pick up all the pieces and He put me back together. He reintroduced me to His love! He is my defender!!! He rescued me! Hallelujah!!
This is so timely. I'm in a season of quiet, not praying, not confronting. Just worship and trust. Hard, so hard. But may we fight FROM victory in Christ, not FOR it.

I'm guessing the etymology/root of "Gretzinger" is "Great Singer" :)
😂Wow
Yes wow so true... i just love your passion sis... man you sing with such justo... from deep with n thats what these songs so uniquely different from the rest.
Its not just the singing it's who behind her singing. Jesus isn't He Wonderful.😇😘
LOL this made my day 🤣
I love words and meanings.... thank you for pointing out her last name. I never caught that, but you must be right.🙏🏼😂
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 🙌🏾😭🙌🏾😭🙌🏾

the part of the lyrics where it says God reintroduced us His love and He picks up the pieces... I cried hard 2 years ago. I guess that is when He reintroduced me to His love. I didn't realize I was so broken until that moment of worship during my church event. God is good.
Who ever wrote this song was spirit filled. No canal mind can put those lyrics together...it's wayyyyy too powerful
Rita Springer :) she's great!
Actually Steffany Gretzinger and JP wrote it :)
I think it was all 3? ☺
Joy quiets her soul....and hides...waiting with a smile....to burst from a dark corner into the light of Family...and cause a brother...a sister....to giggle.....hmm..is it strength? Yes! Pure and undefiled!
The safest place in the universe is on the presence of God, doing His desire and desiring His presence, then on this loop for sure will lead us for His eternal presence in heaven!
Yes, yes, yes Father. When I thought I lost me, You knew where to find me. You put me back together and reintroduced me to your love. The day to day activities of being in this world, working, taking care of a family can cause one to get lost and to start to feel overwhelmed. While the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, our safety is in praise and worship, in staying still. You are our Defender. Father, I thank you for this song. I thank you that you hear and that I do not have to struggle and hope that you hear me. You are my Defender. You have saved me. I thank you for Jesus. I thank you Father precious Holy Spirit. I thank Father that you never ever change and your thoughts toward me are good. Let me be a light today. Let someone experience your love through me. Let me share your awesomeness with others the way Bethel Music share with me. I am staying still, I am praising and worshiping. You are showing me your love and I receive it. You are my Defender. Love, your daughter in Christ, Mitz
Aww your message makes me cry this also my prayer Mitzi Godbless to us💕
When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me, You reintroduced to your love. You picked up all my pieces,put me back together You are the DEFENDER of my heart. Received so much healing from this song. May God grant you grace upon grace to continue in this ministry. May all of you Be blessed
Indeed. God has saved me, He has healed me from hearing and singing this song. I'm grateful for His reckless never-ending love.
I received a lot of healing from my pass. 😇😘
"You are the Defender of my heart" 😭🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
It's not the building He wants to fill, but our hearts. God's grace is just incomprehensible, HE CHOSE US! Hallelujah 🙌🏾
Thank you Lord for restoring my hope and faith again!!
his mercies are new every morning
So much better your way……. You call it my victory . I continue to surrender to your will my father . All I have , all I ever had , all I will have is you Jehovah.
12:50-13:17 !!!! WOAH, SO GOOD!! Totally hit home.
What has 2020 been? How do people not realize that's it's just impossible without you Jesus! 🙏🏻😭
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.😭🙏
God always use Steffany to give me words to sing. What an annointed ministry!
When I thought I lost me… you knew where I left me… you re-introduced me to your love!!! Yeshua THE great Shepard 🙏💕
This did well to assure me I’m saved and it’ll be alright. The Bible wants us to sing of God’s glory on the mountaintops. Be anxious for nothing.
I can totally visualize Steffany bursting out in prophetic song just going about her day... when no one is watching. Thank you for your heart of praise and allowing God to use you on the front lines of furthering His Kingdom! 💗
😍
All I did was praise ... all I did was worship! BUT GOD!!! Thank You Jesus for being my great defender. Thank you for picking up all the pieces and putting my broken life back together again! Holy, holy, holy are You God!!!
Amazing beautiful harmonies, I absolutely love this girl on the right. I think she is in every Bethel video. The constant addition of her voice to these beautiful praises is something that most might miss, but adds so much to the praises rising from Bethel. Love the gift God has given you, and how humbly you use it for His glory!!
So true. Thanks for pointing that out🙌🏿
Jesus! How much Holy spirit did God pour into this woman. He seemingly spilled the whole bucket. Ive never seen God on a person so strong in my life. im praying from the bottom of my soul that you protect this woman and continue to use her. I don't even know her and i would lay down my life to protect her. Just WoW !!!
I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HEARD SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL
Wow those Gretzingers really are great singers ❤
The Lord is the defender and protector of my heart. 💝
"Great defender." We really don't need to fight for more but let God defends, shout for praise and stillness of every hearts.
Thank you so much Bethel, especially to Steffany Gretzinger! To God be all the glory! Whoooooooo 👆❤💓🌟
My favorite Singer❤❤🙏
Andre Milhomem Aires me too
Steffany Gretzinger's heart is so after God, it's beautiful. Absolutely love her.
Colette Chantel yes girl, your heart is so true and simple❤❤ i love she too
God bless Steffany!
Her faith is a beautiful thing to watch. Truly inspiring
"Prince of Peace You fight for us" amen, and the Lord does not lose🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
There isn’t anyone in the world or the universe that will go in over their head for us ,there is nothing that can hold Him back from saving us ,I love you Lord God all the worship all the praise is Yours 🙏♥️
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2348122050178) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you..
The Grace of God giving us all victory, hope, piece and everything all we did is to worship him, praise him for all the things that he has done on the Cross. :) Hallelujah
I love her! She's like a spring that is wound up too tight and at any point it could explode and it's only by the grace of God that it doesn't.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 JESUS, My Defender!!! Thank you Father!!!!
I love this woman. Very genuine and simple. But you are special Steffany. God bless you.
I love that Stef did Mama Rita’s song. ♥️
He is my DEFENDER and he's my HIGH TOWER, The ROCK of my SALVATION.
THANK YOU JESUS!!!
I love this song with a burning passion. And mainly it’s because of the line “You come back with the head of my enemies.” Hear me when I say this but that line means so much. Not only is that phrase biblically correct (due to the story of David and Goliath) but it’s powerful. Worship songs today all have one main issue : they praise the pleasant things of the Bible. They don’t praise the parts of the Bible that are graphic or hard to hear for some. God commands us to read His Word and worship Him and Him alone. Never once did He say to only praise the light and airy and pleasant things. We must read and praise and pray over it all. Including the harsher messages. They show how radical His love is for us. It shows that He would rid us of our enemies to show us how much He did. The story of Jesus dying on the cross is in so many songs, but it’s romanticized. He died in the most horrific way imaginable, beaten till He bled, bruised until he couldn’t stand, nailed to a crude cross cut from a tree with large and long spikes by His hands and feet. Stripped naked and mocked by all who watched and made fun of until His last breath....... And He would do it again in a heartbeat if His Father commanded because He loves us, because He loves YOU that much. That death is explicitly shown in the Bible and has to be portrayed as such. God gave us His Word to read and abide by, not to exclude from our worship and to edit to make it easier to hear.
most people won't understand how deep what your saying goes....
All I did was praise, all I did was worship, all I did was down, all i did was stay still...
Thats when God blessed me with one of the greatest blessings! God is so good!
Great flood in Kerala, India... Thousands are struggling..

May God be a shield and standard against this flood in Jesus name 🙏🏽
divinethought thanks brother... red alert in all districts of kerala. We faced this abt 100 years back.
Ooh what a time off worship. I woke up with this song in my heart. He's my DEFENDER....OOOH HALLELUJAH. I just need to worship HIM AND PRAISE HIM AND HE'LL FIGHT FOR ME. I've going through some stuff, but hadn't it BEEN FOR THE MIGHTY POWER OF GOD I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPEN TO ME. HE'S MY DEFENDER, STRENGTH, PROTECTOR, PROVIDER, SAVIOUR, MY SALVATION, MY ROCK, MY SONG, MY HEALER, MY COMPANION, MY FRIEND, FATHER, SHIELD, SHELTER, MY ABIDING PLACE, MY REFUSE, MY LIGHT,..... so yes HALLELUJAH HE GAS SAVED ME, PUT ME BACK TOGETHER, REINTRODUCED TO HIS LOVE. WOW WOW WOW.
shes a true worshipper! Keep inspiring us to worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth , Steffany . God richly bless you
Lovely..so much better your way
"I Found it's So Much Better."

Thank you Lord for Steffany Gretzinger, she is a real worshiper....
Steffany Gretsinger
She's amazing i like her songs(Reckless love,confident etc
😭😭😭😭 This slays my spirit. He is indeed the defender of my heart!
My heart leaps from its cage! I hear a river flowing still and strong.....brave and full of vengeance!
“When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me”
This is genuine reassurance that God really has our backs. I’ve received and learned a lot from this song. This song is so encouraging, especially if you are failing to believe that you can bounce back from falling off and if you’re hopeless.❤️❤️
Now the Hour cometh and now is when the True Worshippers shall Worship the Father in Spirit and in truth!!!! (John 4:23) Amen and amen thanks sister and God bless Good Job Hallelujah glory be to God Awesome Brilliant!!!!!
