We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods. This I declare, that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him. – Psalm 91:1-2
In the shadow of death, life is unbound.
In the shadow of life, death has no ground.
In the shadow of grief, joy can renew.
In the shadow of joy, grief is still blue.
In the shadow of fear, love brings us grace.
In the shadow of love, fear has no place.
In the shadow of God, safety abounds.
