In The Shadow of Your Wings is a song of praise and thanksgiving for God’s love, care, and protection throughout the challenges and mistfortunes of our lives. It acknowledges that we make it through those things because of God’s power. The lyrics are based on Psalm 63:7.
Oh God, You have been my help.
You have been my help, O Lord.
In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing.
I will sing for joy.
You have been my help.
In sadness and despair
In times of doubt and loneliness
You have been my help.
In fear and pain
You have been my help.
You have been my help.
And in the shadow of Your wings,
Forever sing! Sing!
I will sing for joy
In the shadow of Your wings.
Forever I will sing for joy.
The piece is written for SATB choir with piano. It is in a moderate vocal range with limited divisi in the final section, and a flowing accompaniment that supports the choral parts. The full score can be found HERE.
