Under His Shadow

 

Under the shadow of our God,
The redeemed safely abide;
The Almighty is our refuge
And the Rock in Whom we hide.
We need never to fear troubles,
Our shield and buckler is there--
Defending against all evil
As we look to Him in prayer…
Under His Shadow.

In Christ, our Savior, we have strength
To prevail through trials of woe,
For He is our Deliverer…
He has conquered every foe.
We have peace and abundant joy
Even in the darkness grim,
For in those days so hard to bear
We can trust and rest in Him…
Under His Shadow.

He gives angels charge over us
To protect us every day;
We pass by many, unaware,
As we walk the narrow way.
Some may be family, or friends,
Some strangers we’ve yet to meet;
Praise God! He takes care of His own...
We’ll never suffer defeat…
Under His Shadow.

 

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.”
“For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee
in all thy ways.”
(Ps 91:1-2, 11)
