SHADOWS
Shadows cannot harm
us, though quite frightening they may seem,
They have no power or
substance; neither has a scary dream;
God’s Word so clearly
tells us that death’s valley we’ll walk through*
is also just a
shadow, and that He will be there too.
To fear is not an
option – fear’s a shadow and not real;
God’s power within us
has prevailed against the gates of hell;
So trust His many
promises, for faithful He will be,
Those evil, lurking
shadows will all simply have to flee.
And one day we will
see Him, in His glory, face to face,
Filled with awe and
wonder at the warmth of His embrace;
Earth’s sad and
painful memories will like shadows disappear
in the Sunshine of
His Presence, and He’ll be forever near
