In His Shadow

Oh to abide in the shadow, of the faithful holy One,

To earnestly seek only His will, so one day I'll hear Him say well done,

And to know that however good this life is, there is so much more,

Jesus is now preparing it, on that beautiful Heavenly shore,

Of all that is awaiting me, my mind cannot conceive,

What is awaiting me in eternity, when for the first time my Savior I see,

And at that moment I wonder, what I will do and say,

I know that through faith I will be prepared, because I'm growing every day,

Moving more toward the spiritual things, far away from where I had been,

Keeping my eyes on what's above, resisting the temptation of sin,

Thankful that Jesus never gave up on me, His loving salvation I know,

Now I can abide in a peaceful eternal hope, within His awesome shadow.
