There is cool, safe place to rest and live in this hectic, dog eat dog world today; it's in the shadow of our King, Jesus. (Lead guitar - James Griffiths)
Let's just call it a "Cyber Ministry"!!!!
Story behind the song
The world teaches us to be the front man, the one in the lead.....the ruler; but the world will lie to you, wear you down and lead you straight to hell. We are either going to walk in the shadow of the devil or in the shadow of God, there is no in-between. I've walked in the shadow of evil and believe me when I say, the shadow of God is where you want to be. That is where there is freedom from fear, worry and the need to "get ahead of the other guy". Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with bettering yourself, but with God you can be happy where you're at today, and leave the rest to your Father, the creator of heaven and earth. This is truly the peace that passes all understanding. I encourage you to walk in the shadow of the King, not the shadow of death and evil.......you won't be sorry.
Lyrics
WALKING IN THE SHADOW
©2006 Duane Rod
Walking in the shadow of my Lord and King
The Way, the Truth, the Life, He’s everything
When I’m in the valley and I can’t see
If He’s in the lead, I’m where I should be
I followed the world for many years
On a roller coaster ride of doubt and fear
Thinking the answer was riches and wealth
I was walking in the shadow of the devil himself
CHORUS
Walking in the shadow of the mighty King
Hidden from harm under His wing
Under the guard of His staff and rod
I’m walking in the shadow, the shadow of God
Then one day Jesus spoke to my heart
I knew deep down, I had a new start
He would lead the way and I would follow
Safe and secure, walking in His shadow
CHORUS
He’s leading me toward the eternal light
The Kingdom of heaven where there’s no night
It’s all about Him and not about me
Walking in the shadow, is where I’ll be
CHORUS
