As I go through this old world of pain and sorrow, I'd so like to be
Always in the shadow of my Saviour, that others might see
How awesome it is to live for the Christ from up high above;
Who is ever there for us when we are in need of His great love.

When we walk with Him, we are in His shadow, following His lead;
To try to do good for our fellow-man by doing for all a good deed.
Jesus is ever with us. He knows our thoughts and our very way
Of how we live our life, as we walk in His shadow each and every day.

Come, go with me. It's so awesome to be beside Him all the Heavenly way,
To walk by the still waters and through the green pastures each day.
He loves us with a love with no limits. Did not He prove it upon a Cross
As He gave up His sweet life for us that we would not suffer the loss?

We will walk on streets of gold, built with His own true Holy love,
And we?ll eat of the tree of life ... as this Christ sacrificed Himself from above,
When He came down to take a crown of thorns around His dear head
And hang with thieves, upon that old rugged Cross, until He was dead.

Yes, Lord. Let me walk in The shadow of Thy mercy and awesome love.
Let me be there in Thy shadow, when you come to take me home above.
All the Glory of Thy kingdom will shine on those who love Thee, I know.
So, let me follow and be diligent, as in Thy great shadow I there go.
