The Shelter of the Shadow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From before the beginning Was a Word that was living It thundered from the mountain In the wilderness it shown When the God, who would be Father Led His children through the water And with His lovingkindness He led His children home [Verse 2] He is kindness; He is mercy He's strength from above Ever gracious, ever generous Relentless in love In all of human history A mystery unheard That the infinitе was spoken In one perfеct Word [Verse 3] On the mountain, in the morning In the cleft, He would stand In the shelter of the shadow Of the palm of His hand Then the Word of revelation The unspeakable Name Was spoken from the cloud As His glory proclaimed [Verse 4] Come passionate and gracious To a thousand generations So slow to anger Abounding in love A Love that bears the burden Of the sin of the rebellion The covenant of kindness Is a love that sets us free
