In the Shadow of Your Wings Psalm 91:1 worship

Written as a worship song taken from Psalm 91:1 and the inspiration of the Psalm, Moses completing the tabernacle in the desert, telescoping to a holocaust survivor praying for redemption for her torturors. Who needs your prayers to experience God’s redeeming love? You are free to comment. I read them.

In the Shadow of Your Wings
Verse 1
In the secret place, I find my home,
Under Your wings, I’m never alone.
Psalm ninety-one, my heart’s refrain,
You are my shield, my hope, my gain.
Like Moses built with faithful hands,
A holy place where glory stands,
I dwell in You, my soul’s delight,
Your presence shines through endless night.
Chorus
In the shadow of Your wings, I sing,
You are my refuge, my everything.
From the Tabernacle to the cross,
Your love redeems what sin has cost.
Oh, justify by faith alone,
Transform the hearts that once were stone.
In Your presence, I abide,
My God, my shelter, by Your side.
Verse 2
She kneels in ashes, scars of pain,
A survivor’s cry through bitter rain.
Her captors’ chains, she sees through grace,
Prays for their souls to seek Your face.
Like Moses raised Your holy tent,
Her heart’s a prayer, with love it’s sent.
“Spare them, Lord, let faith arise,
Make them Yours beneath Your skies.”
Chorus
In the shadow of Your wings, I sing,
You are my refuge, my everything.
From the Tabernacle to the cross,
Your love redeems what sin has cost.
Oh, justify by faith alone,
Transform the hearts that once were stone.
In Your presence, I abide,
My God, my shelter, by Your side.
Bridge
“Finished!” Moses cried, Your glory fell,
A dwelling place where You would dwell.
“Finished!” from the cross, Your mercy flows,
To broken hearts, Your grace bestows.
She prays, “Oh, save them, make them new,
Let faith arise, their souls pursue.”
Your Spirit moves, from tent to throne,
Your love will never leave us alone.
Chorus
In the shadow of Your wings, I sing,
You are my refuge, my everything.
From the Tabernacle to the cross,
Your love redeems what sin has cost.
Oh, justify by faith alone,
Transform the hearts that once were stone.
In Your presence, I abide,
My God, my shelter, by Your side.
Outro
In the secret place, I’ll always stay,
Under Your wings, I’ll never stray.
From Moses’ hands to her brave plea,
Your love’s the home that sets us free.

Explanation of Elements Incorporated
• Psalm 91:1: The song anchors on “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty,” reflected in the recurring imagery of God’s wings and the “secret place” as a refuge.
• Moses and the Tabernacle: Phrases like “Moses built with faithful hands” and “Finished! Moses cried, Your glory fell” draw from Exodus 39:43 and 40:33–34, where Moses completes the Tabernacle, and God’s glory fills it, symbolizing satisfaction and divine presence.
• Holocaust Survivor Scene: The second verse introduces a twentieth-century female survivor, inspired by historical accounts of forgiveness (e.g., Corrie ten Boom’s prayers for her captors). Her intercession for her torturers’ salvation mirrors the song’s theme of justification by faith, as seen in Romans 5:1.
• Telescoping Imagery: The song bridges Moses’ physical Tabernacle to the spiritual “tent” of the survivor’s prayer, both representing spaces where God’s presence transforms. The cross in the bridge ties both to Christ’s redemptive work.
The song is designed for congregational singing, with a simple structure and evocative lyrics that invite reflection on God’s shelter and redemptive love across time.
