Lyrics

In the darkness of the night,
oh, my faith begins to wane;
fear arises and echoes within me.
I believe that I can doubt,
I accept I am without;
I'm alone, away from the shadow of your wings.

As a deer longs for running streams,
my soul thirsts for my God.
My soul thirsts for the living God,
the shadow of your wings,
shadow of your wings.

As I lie awake at night,
I will turn my eyes to you,
I will raise my voice and call upon your name.
For your right hand holds me fast;
I am wandering without you.
So I'll cling to you in the shadow of your wings.

Lord, I try to understand in earthly measure
Why things must sometimes be.
But I know your ways are not my ways;
not my way, but your way.

More than air and more than earth,
more than fire can fiercely blaze,
harder than a diamond, softer than the rain,
warmer than the rising sun,
more forever than the tomb;
more secure than hope
is the shadow of your wings.
