The sun has been out to get me all day
There is nowhere in this country to hide
Then the shadow falls long and the air turns blue
And I walk in under, and I stay

In the shadow
Of the Almighty
In the secret place
I have found the cool of the day

I used to think shadow was a bad word
Something a person gets out of
But out here the shade is the kindest thing going
And I have moved in under His

In the shadow
Of the Almighty
In the secret place
I have found the cool of the day

Cover me over the way that You do
Feathers, and I go quiet
