In His Shadow

[Verse 1]

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,

Will abide in the shadow, where peace comes to lie.

With arms wide open, the Almighty calls,

In whispers of refuge, He catches our falls.

Oh Lord, my fortress, my refuge in strife,

In You, I find trust, You’re my source of life.

[Chorus]

I will say to the Lord, "You’re my strength, my guide,

My fortress, my shelter, in You I will abide."

Through trials and troubles and shadows of fear,

In the comfort of faith, You’re forever near.

[Verse 2]

He’ll deliver me from the snare of the fowler,

With wings like a bird, He’ll lift me, I’ll feel prouder.

Deadly pestilence roams, but I’ll stand my ground,

Covered by His feathers, in His love I'm found.

Oh, with His faithfulness as my shield and buckler,

Every fear dissolves, in His grace I can muster.

[Chorus]

I will say to the Lord, "You’re my strength, my guide,

My fortress, my shelter, in You I will abide."

Through trials and troubles and shadows of fear,

In the comfort of faith, You’re forever near.

[Bridge]

You will not fear the terror that prowls through the night,

Nor the arrows that fly, on the day they ignite.

For thousands may stumble, though ten thousand may fall,

My eyes, they will witness, yet I will stand tall.

[Verse 3]

Because I’ve made You, Lord, my dwelling place,

The Most High, my refuge, in Your loving grace.

No evil shall touch me, no plague come so near,

In Your presence, I’m safe, there's nothing to fear.

[Chorus]

I will say to the Lord, "You’re my strength, my guide,

My fortress, my shelter, in You I will abide."

Through trials and troubles and shadows of fear,

In the comfort of faith, You’re forever near.

[Verse 4]

He’s commanded His angels to guard all my ways,

On hands they’ll bear me up through my darkest days.

Stepping on lions, and a snake, I’ll defeat,

I’m treading on power beneath my own feet.

[Bridge]

"Because he holds fast to Me in his love,

I will deliver him, from the sky above.

When he calls to Me, I will take his plea,

In trouble, I’m with him, in salvation, he'll see."

[Verse 5]

With a long life I’ll satisfy those who seek,

I’ll show him my salvation, my promise unique.

In Him, I find refuge, I remain ever true,

In His shelter of mercy, He’s holding me through.

[Chorus]

I will say to the Lord, "You’re my strength, my guide,

My fortress, my shelter, in You I will abide."

Through trials and troubles and shadows of fear,

In the comfort of faith, You’re forever near.

[Outro]

So let my heart echo the promise in time,

He who dwells in His shelter—blessed peace, it’s prime.

Forever I’ll trust Him, my Savior divine,

In the arms of the Almighty, my soul will align.
