Shadow of Safety


"Behold, God Himself is with us" (2 Chronicles 13:12 ).  "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty... under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield" (Psalm 91:1,4).  "Whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe (Proverbs 29:25).  "Who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" (Matthew 3:7). 

Our God Himself is now with us,
Removing every cause for fear.
His promises are marvelous,
Assuring us that He is near. 

We're dwelling in the secret place
Where God has called us each aside
As we sincerely seek His face
And in His shadow we abide.   

There is no safer place we find
As we approach the King of kings. 
His presence gives us peace mind
Beneath the shadow of His wings.

His truth forever is our shield;
He is attentive to our prayer
As to our Lord we gladly yield
And as we cast on Him our care.

We walk in safety on His path
With all who have been born again.
He died to save our souls from wrath
And sheltered us as does a hen. 

We've found our safety here at last
Beneath the wings of Jesus Christ,
Who over us His shadow cast
When He for us was sacrificed. 

O Lord, our sacrificial Savior,
We thank You for Your great compassion
Which moved You to impart Your favor
Beneath Your shadow in this fashion! 

You saved us from eternal loss!  
Lord, send us forth to others too
To show the shadow of Your cross
Where there is safety found in You.
