Shadow of Your Hand

Lost in a little room

One with whitened-out windows where no one goes

Lost in an empty space

Where no one else can reach me or hear me cry

But the Shepherd never sleeps

Nor leaves off searching for His sheep

So how can I be afraid?

For You will find my heart again

You can warm my fears away

And I won't be alone

For You will bring me home again

Safe into the shadow of Your hand

I was an only one

Separate and different and so aware

That I was a lonely one

Without a friend to call me to say "Hi"

But the Shepherd knows His sheep

He alone will meet their needs

So how can I be afraid?

For You laid down your life for me

You became the living door

And I won't be alone

I can hear You calling me

Safe into the shadow of Your hand

Here, there is life for me

Life in such abundance from You

Here, there is sanctuary

And entering through you I find Your peace

For the Shepherd knows his sheep

His is the only voice they heed

So how can I be afraid?

Now that You have found my heart again

You who've warmed my fears away

And I won't be alone

Now that You have brought me home again

Safe into the shadow of Your hand
