Walking In the Shadow of the Lord

A constant companion since way back when, He's my savior. Amen. Because my heart he does engross, I'm in His shadow we're so close. I've seen His movements in the world; Seen His works--His wonders unfurled. I've beheld the magic of August moon, Smelled rose on summer afternoon. I've read His ancient word, still true, I've looked to endless skies, still blue. Heavenly Father, on bended knee, I lift my eyes and look to Thee. Yes, heard His voice whisper in the wood; Been His child since babyhood. A love that shines brightly forevermore; I've heard His knock upon the door. I've glimpsed His figure in the fog; We've been engaged in dialogue. Yes, the minister affirms with a nod, How amazing is God! I've participated in the holy rites, Beheld the stars on Christmas nights, And seen things grandiose-- I'm in His shadow we're so close.
