Shadow Dance

Location

One night I feel the falling rain

Drowning out the moonlit night.

Gloomy thoughts of fierce betrayal

Linger on my mind.

(Shadow Dance)

 

Hallucinations of my pride

Give me the strength to fall.

Prayer and silence fill my heart

As I step through the cold.

(Shadow Dance)

 

(Chorus)

Dreams to be remembered.

Nightmares to escape.

Forgetting all my worries,

I travel through the rain.

Careful steps to avoid regret,

I'm falling on my knees.

Crying out simple sighs of grief,

I'm finding no relief

(Shadow Dance)

 

Blood is filling up my veins

As fear fails to subside.

Freedom filled my empty soul

As I sat down and cried.

(Shadow Dance)

 

The music in the thunder's roar

Washes doubt away.

My sin has been wiped clean

And life is here to stay

(Shadow Dance)

 

Dreams to be remembered.

Nightmares to escape.

Forgetting all my worries,

I travel through the rain.

Loving eyes are watching

As repentant eyes shed tears

Abandoning this moment

Soon becomes my fear.

(Shadow Dance)

 

(bridge)

I stand upon my feet

And cry unto the LORD!

I have been redeemed

And given Love's reward.

Hope is finally born.

I've been given one more chance.

My hands reach out and grasp the rain

As I begin my Shadow Dance.

 

Dreams are coming clearly.

Nightmares run and hide.

I've forgotten all my worries

As I get lost in Jesus' eyes

 

Dreams are coming clearly.

Nightmares run and hide.

I've forgotten all my worries

As I get lost in Jesus' eyes.

The power of the moment

Makes me feel so weak.

I continue shadow dancing

Silent on my knees.

(Shadow Dance)

 

How priceless is your unfailing love!

Both high and low among men

find refuge in the shadow of your wings.

Psalm 36:7 NIV
