Under The Shadow
Nicole C. Mullen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the most high shall abide
Under the shadow
Under the shadow
Of the Almighty
Though a thousand
Fall before me
That?s around me
They shall not
They shall not come nigh my dwelling
And I will say of the Lord He is my refuge and my fortress
My God in Him will I trust
And I will not be afraid of the snare of the fowler
My God in Him will I trust
The lyrics of Nicole C. Mullen's song "Under the Shadows" are rooted in Psalm 91 of the Bible. The song describes how the singer finds solace and protection in the presence of God. The opening verse makes reference to "the secret place of the most high," which implies a sense of intimacy and closeness with God. The chorus reinforces this idea by repeating the phrase "under the shadow of the Almighty," which suggests that God's love and protection are like a shelter or a covering that keeps the singer safe from harm.
The second verse addresses the challenges and dangers that the singer faces in the world, but again reassures the listener that they will be kept safe and secure under the protective shadow of God. The line "Though a thousand fall before me" speaks to the idea that even if many others suffer or are harmed, the singer will be spared because of their faith in God. The verse ends with a declaration of trust in God, proclaiming that they will not be afraid of the snare of the fowler (a trap set for birds) because they have entrusted themselves to God's care.

He who dwelleth in the secret place
The person who chooses to live in secret with God
Of the most high shall abide
Remain steadfast under the protection of God
Under the shadow
Beneath the protection
Under the shadow
Beneath the protection
Of the Almighty
Of the all-powerful God
Though a thousand
Even if many thousands
Fall before me
Are struck down around me
From the evil
Due to the wickedness
That?s around me
Present in my environment
They shall not
They will not
They shall not come nigh my dwelling
Get close to where I live
And I will say of the Lord He is my refuge and my fortress
I will declare that God is my shelter and my protection
My God in Him will I trust
I believe in God and put my faith in Him
And I will not be afraid of the snare of the fowler
I will not fear the traps set by my enemies
My God in Him will I trust
I believe in God and put my faith in Him
