Bless the Lord o my soul
Bless him and all that is within me
Bless his holy name
And never, never forget his righteousness
I remember the voice of my mama
When she prayed, we could hear her crying
Calling the name Jehovah, saying oh Lord please hear my voice
Refrain:
Lead my children, O Lord when I am gone
Teach them to pray, O Lord when I’m gone
Show them the right way, O Lord when I’m gone
I will thank you for the rest of my life
Praise the Lord o my soul
Praise him and all that is within me
Praise his holy name
And never, never forget his righteousness
He forgives all my sins and heals all my sicknesses
Even though I walk through the shadow of death
I will fear no harm, ‘coz your love, is here with me
(Languages: English, Pidgin, Lingala, Tshiluba, Swahili and French)

I know a place I can always run to
In times of distress confusion and fear
When my enemy surround me, I know in you I’m safe
for you keep me And hide me in the shadow of your wings (Repeat)
Chorus:
In the shadow of your wings, I know I am safe
In the shadow of your wings, I find relief
For you will hold me you’ll guide me with your righteous hand
I find rest – peace of mind, In the shadow of your wings (Repeat)
The Lord is my shield, He’s the healer of my soul
He’s the tower of strength, my redeemer my keeper
When my heart is filled with sorrow, For you’re a lifter of my head
You surround me with favor, And You satisfy my soul
(Chorus)
I am safe in the shadow of his wings
I am safe in the shadow of his wings
I am safe in the shadow of his wings
I know I’m safe in the shadow of his wings (Repeat)
I am safe in the shadow of your wings
I am safe in the shadow of your wings
He keeps me(I am safe), he holds me (in the shadow of your wings)
I’m safe from harm (I am safe), In the Almighty’s hand(in the shadow of your wings),
I’m safe from harm (I am safe), I’m safe from destruction(in the shadow of your wings)
In the name of the father(I’m sage), in the shadow of the almighty(in the shadow of your wings)
Nothing can touch me when I’m in the shadow
Nothing can harm me when I’m in the shadow
I’m safe in his arms, I’m safe in his presence
I’m safe in his arms, the devil can’t touch me in his presence
The devil can’t harm me in the shadow of his wings
I’m safe from harm, I’m safe from harm
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
I’m safe (I am safe), I’m safe(in the shadow of your wings)…
I’m safe with Jesus (I am safe), I’m safe with Jesus (in the shadow of your wings)
I am safe in the shadow of his wings
I am safe in the shadow of his wings
The devil cant touch me, the devil cant do nothing about it
Because no weapon formed against me shall prosper
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
Coz I’m in the shadow of his wings
So stay in Jesus, don’t give up, don’t give in
Stay in Jesus he’ll make a way, don’t give in
I am safe in the shadow of your wings
I am safe in the shadow of your wings…
