Beneath My Wings

Who dwells in the shelter shall abide inside the shadow of the high
Fear not the terror by night

Out from the trap and from the deadly plague
The snare and pestilence that walks in darkness lay no waste

Take your refuge, your buckler
Nor for the arrow that flies by day
Be not afraid
Your feathers gain power in your wings
Nor of destruction that wastes at noon
Be not afraid

Who dwells in the shelter shall abide inside the shadow of the high
Fear no terror by night

A thousand souls and thousands more may fall down at your side
But hold strong and trust in me, and it shall not come fortified
Fortified
And with your eyes behold and see the retaliation against the free
Hold still, be not afraid
Hold on still be not afraid
For I will cloak you beneath my wings

And when my glory passes you by
I’ll cover you with my hand
And I will set you up high

On the hands of angels you’ll be lift up
Risen up, for now you won’t strike your foot against the stone
They will protect you in all your ways
They will protect you in all your ways

Who dwells in the shelter shall abide inside the shadow of the high
Fear no terror by night

A thousand souls and thousands more may fall down at your side
But hold strong and trust in me, and it shall not come fortified
Fortified
And with your eyes behold and see the retaliation against the free
Hold still, be not afraid
Hold on still be not afraid
For I will cloak you beneath my wings

My glory passes by
And I will set you high
I’ll cover you with my hand
We are alive!

The lion and dragon shall you trample under your feet
This call upon you, set securely on high
The lion and dragon shall you tread upon and trample by your feet
I will be with you through your trouble and rescue you up

Who dwells in the shelter shall abide inside the shadow of the high
Fear no terror by night

A thousand souls and thousands more may fall down at your side
But hold strong and trust in me, and it shall not come fortified
Fortified
And with your eyes behold and see the retaliation against the free
Hold still, be not afraid
Hold on still be not afraid
For I will cloak you beneath my wings

And with your eyes behold and see the retaliation against the free
Hold still, be not afraid

My glory passes you by
I’ll cover you with my solemn hand
