Shelter in the Shadow

Written for Dylan · FreeCustomSong Original

I look back at the boy who was chosen and claimed

Walking through the fire, surviving the flames

The burns on my body left stories to tell

But I kept my heart open, I learned from it well

Outgoing and loving, just trying to grow

Finding my way on a road I don't know

But I dwell in the shelter of the Most High

Resting in His shadow when the arrows fly

He is my refuge, the fortress I trust

When the life that I pictured turns into dust

Through the pain and the changes, I'm holding on

Psalm ninety-one is my steady song

I packed up my life for a brand new start

Moved in with my fiancé, gave her my heart

We stood at the altar and traded our rings

But time has a way of unraveling things

The marriage is over, we went our own ways

Now I'm seeking the grace in the heaviest days

Still understanding, still willing to learn

From every new ending and every new burn

'Cause I dwell in the shelter of the Most High

Resting in His shadow when the arrows fly

He is my refuge, the fortress I trust

When the life that I pictured turns into dust

Through the pain and the changes, I'm holding on

Psalm ninety-one is my steady song

Dylan, you've carried the weight of it all

From the day of adoption to taking the fall

A thousand may drop at your side in the night

But you are protected, you're held in the light

Keep being the outgoing soul that you are

The Maker of Heaven is healing the scar

I will dwell in the shelter of the Most High

Resting in His shadow when the arrows fly

He is my refuge, the fortress I trust

When the dreams that I built crumble into dust

Through the fire, the vows, and the letting go

He is the safest refuge I know

Yeah, Psalm ninety-one is my steady song
