His Wing's Shadow

On the shadow of Your wings,
where no sun or rain will blind
where Thy loving kindness waits
to fill hearts with peace of mind.

On the shadow of Your wings,
where no storm or wind will meet
where Thy grace inspires calm
to give the weary heart retreat.

On the shadow of Your wings,
where no fear or doubt will soar
where Thy steadfast love exists
to help grieving hearts restore.

On the shadow of Your wings,
where no pain or hurt will be
where Thy goodness is prepared
to bring broken hearts to Thee.

On the shadow of Your wings,
where no stars or moon will fade
where Thy mercies reach forever
to heal hearts that are afraid.

Oh, precious is Your loving kindness,
where our trust can mount and rise
where unfailing love gives assurance
Your wing's shadow protects our cries.
