Biography:
Peter Andrew Furler was born in South Australia on September 8, 1966. He has five siblings, named Debbie, Vicki, Mark, Julie, and David. He frequently drove them crazy by banging on anything he could find, such as the back seat of the car or his lap. As a teenager, he was able to listen to the radio, hear the first chord of a song, and instantly know which song it was.
Peter became a Christian at the age of 17. In 1986, he founded the band Newsboys with George Perdik.

Sun and Shield
Peter Furler
[Verse 1]
G#m A
Bitterness is a fault line
G#m B
Envy's a golden calf
G#m A
Idols break when it all shakes down
B E
And split your heart in half
G#m A
You weep you sweep up the pieces
G#m B
It's your home, you take pride
G#m A
But once it's clean and empty
B E
My Lord is calling you outside
[Chorus]
E A
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
E A
This is where my help's coming from
E A
In the heights or the battle
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
[Verse 2]
G#m A
And if the sun can blind you
G#m B
And if a shield means war
G#m A
And if you give up before you get up
B E
What were you praying for?
G#m A
The future's an open window
G#m B
Set in cornerstone
G#m A
Wash off the ash, raise up the banner
B E
This is your true home
[Chorus]
E A
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
E A
This is where my help's coming from
E A
In the heights or the battle
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
E A
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
E A
This is where my help's coming from
E A
In the heights or the battle
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
(sung during the bridge and twice before:)
F# A C#m
Oooooooooooooh (my Sun, my Sun, my Shield)
[Bridge]
F# A
Calling you outside
C#m
Open your eyes
F# A
Calling you outside
C#m
Open your eyes
B E
[Chorus]
E A
So lift up your eyes, turn to the sun
E A
This is where all help's coming from
E A
In the heights or the battlefield
F# E
He's our Sun, our Shield
E A
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
E A
This is where my help's coming from
E A
In the heights or the battlefield
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
F# E
You're my Sun, my Shield
