Shadow of Shaddai

From Shadow of Shaddai · 2026 · 4:10
Lyrics

The world around me is closing in
Feel my light growing dim
The darkness hides Your face
But I'm hidden in Your secret place

You're my refuge and my fortress
Your wings cover me, cover me
The only God I trust
Your strength will fight for me, fight for me

In the shadow, shadow of Shaddai
I'm with the Most High, Most High
In the shadow, shadow of Shaddai
I'm with the Most High, Most High
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Most High, Most High)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Shaddai)

When arrows fly and terror strikes
No plague will touch Your chosen ones
A thousand may fall, ten thousand more
But You are my shalom

You're my refuge and my fortress
Your wings cover me, cover me
The only God I trust
Your strength will fight for me, fight for me

In the shadow, shadow of Shaddai
I'm with the Most High, Most High
In the shadow, shadow of Shaddai
I'm with the Most High, Most High
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Most High, Most High)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Shaddai)

Because I know Your name
You set me on high
Because I love You, Adonai
You never leave my side
You show me Your salvation
You satisfy my life
El Shaddai, Shaddai

In the shadow, shadow of Shaddai
I'm with the Most High, Most High
In the shadow, shadow of Shaddai
I'm with the Most High, Most High
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Most High, Most High)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Shaddai)

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Most High, Most High)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Shaddai)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Most High, Most High)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, Shaddai)

The Source

O you who dwell in the shelter of the Most High and abide in the protection of Shaddai—

Psalm 91:1 · NJPS
Read Psalm 91

1O you who dwell in the shelter of the Most High and abide in the protection of Shaddai—

2I say of the LORD, my refuge and stronghold, my God in whom I trust,

3that He will save you from the fowler’s trap, from the destructive plague.

4He will cover you with His pinions; you will find refuge under His wings; His fidelity is an encircling shield.

5You need not fear the terror by night, or the arrow that flies by day,

6the plague that stalks in the darkness, or the scourge that ravages at noon.

7A thousand may fall at your left side, ten thousand at your right, but it shall not reach you.

8You will see it with your eyes, you will witness the punishment of the wicked.

9Because you took the LORD—my refuge, the Most High—as your haven,

10no harm will befall you, no disease touch your tent.

11For He will order His angels to guard you wherever you go.

12They will carry you in their hands lest you hurt your foot on a stone.

13You will tread on cubs and vipers; you will trample lions and asps.

14“Because he is devoted to Me I will deliver him; I will keep him safe, for he knows My name.

15When he calls on Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in distress; I will rescue him and make him honored;

16I will let him live to a ripe old age, and show him My salvation.”
