Shadow Of Your Wings

"Shadow of Your Wings" is a secret song that you’ll sort of just happen upon in the record. Early on in my ministry, I put together a band called New Life Rookies. It was all teenagers in the youth group, and everybody just had guitars, and we started meeting and playing. This was one of the first songs we started playing together and it comes from Psalm 63, where "Holy One" comes from. So what "Shadow of Your Wings" is, is what eventually became "Holy One." But just for nostalgia, we thought it would be fun to put it on the record. It was probably the first up-beat rocker song I had ever written, and it’s pretty fun.

Psalm 36:7 / Psalm 42:1 / Psalm 63

Shadow Of Your Wings is a song I wrote for my youth group years ago. Based on Psalm 63, this is a song that eventually became Holy One. We thought it would be fun to throw it on the record. It's definitely different from Crowns' style, but it's a lot of fun with a bunch of teenagers. :)

O God, You are my God
And earnestly I seek You
O how I long for You
In this dry and weary land
I’ve seen You in the sanctuary
And I beheld Your glory
So I can think of only one thing I can do

I lift my hands
I lift my hands and I will praise You all my days
I lift my voice
I lift my voice to You in this simple song of praise
I lift my eyes
So I will think of You through the watches of the night
Hear the voices ring as Your children sing
In the shadow of Your wings

Hear the voices ring as the children sing
Hear the voices ring as the children sing
Hear the voices ring as the children sing

In the shadow of Your wings
In the shadow of Your wings
