"My Weapon" is a song performed by American contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter Natalie Grant.[1] "My Weapon" is the lead single from her tenth studio album No Stranger.[2]

Background

[edit]

“Whatever current difficulty or hardship we find ourselves in, there is one thing that is a source of comfort and strength above all else, and it is also our greatest weapon—the presence of God. And His presence is always with us,” Grant explains of the message behind her song. “Joshua 1:9 reminds us to ‘not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.’ So no matter the fight, we never fight alone. May this song remind you that God is with you and God is for you, fighting your battles. He is your victory.”[3]

Composition

[edit]

"My Weapon" is originally in the key of Ab Major, with a tempo of 78 beats per minute.[4]

NewRelease Today shared, “Every so often, a powerful lyric comes through and provides peace and calm in the midst of a world that’s spinning out of control. From the first notes of Natalie Grant’s newest single, ‘My Weapon,’ that peace is found, clearing the way for God to speak and for the listener to find comfort and safety in His arms.”[6]
