A shadow follows me,
wherever I may go . . .
I see its silhouette
upon morning’s glow.
It shrouds me,
in my Father’s light
it changes not a bit
from day to night.
A shadow falls on me,
from a secret place
from where it comes
back to heaven I trace.
It blankets me,
with wings of love
mercifully spread
by my Father above.
A shadow descends,
a silhouette I see
I know it is God . . .
watching over me!
~~~~~~~~~
He that dwelleth in the secret place
of the most High shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty.
Be merciful unto me, O God,
be merciful unto me: for my
soul trusteth in thee: yea,
in the shadow of thy wings
will I make my refuge,
until these calamities be
overpast.
