My Father's Shadow

By Lee Brock

I walked today in my Father’ shadow,
And felt no fear at all:
In the early morning ‘til late in the day
I felt I was ten feet tall.

His shadow above me, His shadow around me.
I knew He was always near;
His comforting presence assured me
That to him I was very dear.

He spoke no word aloud to my ear,
But the message was very strong.
His love came through in his presence,
And in my heart was a song.

If the road seems rough and the way seems long;
If an enemy threatens me;
I have no reason to cringe and cry:
My Heavenly Father overshadows me.
