“Shelter in the Shadow”
Contemporary Christian · 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
ChorusBut 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
Verse 2I 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
Chorus'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
BridgeDylan, 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
Final ChorusI 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
