@@ MY SHADOW AND ME @@ 
 
 
                 MY SHADOW AND I WENT FOR A WALK
                 WE WALKED IN SILENCE,NO NEED TO TALK.
                 HE WALKED BESIDE ME ALL THE WAY
                 NOT ONCE DID HE EVER LEAD ME ASTRAY.
 
 
                WHEN I WOULD STOP MY SHADOW STOPPED
                WHEN I HOPPED MY SHADOW WOULD HOP.
                NEVER ONCE  DID HE LEAVE ME ALONE,
                NOT EVEN WHEN I WAS WEARY AND GROANED.
 
 
                DONT IT REMIND YOU OF ANOTHER SHADOW
                THAT ALWAYS WALKS BESIDE YOU
                TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE STORMS OF LIFE
                AND GUIDE YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO.
 
 
                MY OTHER SHADOW IS MY LOVING JESUS
                HES THERE TO HOLD MY HAND,
                WHEN SATAN HURLS THEM ROCKS AT ME
                 MY JESUS TAKES A STAND.
 
 
                 I NEED NOT FEAR FOR WHAT LIES AHEAD
                 FOR MY JESUS IS IN CONTROL,
                 AND JUST LIKE MY OTHER SHADOW HERE
                 I KNOW HE WILL NEVER LET ME GO.
