(1) An eagle soars above the earth Each time his wings unfold. A deer lies down beside the stream And rests his weary head. The wind blows through a forest of trees And cools the hard, warm soil While robins sing and rivers flow Continuously throughout the day (Chorus) In the shadow of Thy wings I rejoice in Thee I place my trust in Your great love When storms would trouble me In Your embrace I’m sheltered fast No other defense I need. While all around me the tempest blows I’m in the shadow of Thy wings. (2) The earth sings in many ways The praises of the Lord While people sit and cry out loud In harmonious discord. Lord I pray that I may be An instrument for Thee To mend those lives of brokenness In the shadow of Thy wings (Chorus) In the shadow of Thy wings I rejoice in Thee I place my trust in Your great love When storms would trouble me In Your embrace I’m sheltered fast No other defense I need. While all around me the tempest blows I’m in the shadow of Thy wings. |
