This is a rough mix of a song that I recently recorded. It has not been mixed or background vocals added. It will be replaced with final version at a later date. A song about uncertainty in life, but with God by our side, it is easier to deal with
Artist picture
Solo Artist - Singer / Songwriter - Contemporary Christian
I am a musician (singer / songwriter) that has had many influences. As a young man I listened and was influenced by Journey, Kansas, Styx, Boston, Led Zepplin, Billy Joel, Elton John, The Eagles, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and many others. As I grew older and became more involved with my church, I gravitated toward contemporary Christian artists such as Wayne Watson, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Michael English, Ray Boltz, Casting Crowns, Philips Craig & Dean, and others. Recently I have returned to my first love - Contemporary Christian Music. It is my prayer that God will open doors within this ministry and hopefully, in the future, I will be able to record and share some of the great music that God has given me. In January of 2007 I had the priviledge of Recording my first EP of original songs with The Tyler Music Group in Nashville Tnn. This has been a wonderful experience to record and work with some of the best musicians in the world. I was also fortunate and blessed to have been associated with my producer, William Smith, that believed in my songs and took a chance on a new unsigned artist. I am married to my beautiful wife, and we live in Anniston, AL. I have a daughter, Bethany that is the joy of my life. Bethany is a Graduate of Jacksonville State University, with a major in Elementary Education - She has recently taken a job at Alexandria Elementary School as a Third Grade Teacher - Bethany loves, children and will be a great teacher.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song during a time in my life when I did not know where God was leading me. I was unemployed, and had applied for a job the I felt was right for me, and had a lot of confidence that this was God's direction for my life. Then all of a sudden I discovered that I was not being considered for that position. I was pretty much devistated, and I was feeling like, "okay God, where do we go from here". This song came out of that time in my life.
Lyrics
Walk in the Shadows Music and Lyrics by Rickey Wright 1st Verse I’m feeling kind of lost Just wandering around Confused as I ponder, this stop sign I’ve found I know you have a plan For this weary life But sometimes God, I need to see a sign Pre-Chorus Lord, I know your there When I walk in the dark And my human eyes can’t see But sometimes fear gets the best of me And despite my best, I fail to see Chorus Jesus draw me close Closer Lord to thee Open the eyes of my weary heart And calm the fear in me But despite the unknown There’s one thing that I know I’d rather walk in the shadows with you by my side Than to walk through this life on my own 2nd Verse I struggle sometimes With this puzzle of life All of the pieces don’t fit, though I try and try I’m learning to walk by faith And it’s Your will that I seek But sometimes Lord, my weary eyes can’t see Pre-Chorus But Lord, I know your there When I walk in the dark And my human eyes can’t see But sometimes fear gets the best of me And despite my best, I fail to see Chorus Jesus draw me close Closer Lord to thee Open the eyes of my weary heart And calm the fear in me But despite the unknown There’s one thing that I know I’d rather walk in the shadows with you by my side Than to walk through this life on my own Bridge I know there’s times When He guards my path And protects from things unseen Through the eyes of faith I hold to the truth His spirit is living in me Chorus Jesus draw me close Closer Lord to thee Open the eyes of my weary heart And calm the fear in me But despite the unknown There’s one thing that I know I’d rather walk in the shadows with you by my side Than to walk through this life on my own Tag I’d rather walk through the shadow with you by my side Than to walk through this life…… Jesus Draw me close Closer Lord to Thee I’d rather walk through the shadows with you by my side Than to walk through this life on my own.
