His Shadow

I live in the shadow of Jesus, my Lord.

Because I live in that shadow, I know where my riches are stored.

They are safely protected from the melting heat of the suns fire.

He was there to protect me since before my life had begun.

He spreads out his robe to keep me from the hot fires of Hell

His love rules my mind; yes I am under his spell.

And I wish not to ever come out of this glorious state

For it will surely lead me from this life to a heavenly fate.

His voice softly instructs me in the ways that are wise.

He has taught me that evil and hatred are what I should despise.

“Be angry and sin not,” he has instructed me clearly.

For my child you know that I will always love you dearly.

So lay all your hurts, sins and your doubts upon Jesus, Gods son

And you will even see death as a doorway with a new life which will have begun.
