Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still, You protect me through it all
The waters rise
The oceans rage
Still, You′re the One the storm obeys
In the shelter of Your presence
In the shadow of Your wings
I am safe
I will hold onto Your promise
You will not abandon me
I am safe
I am safe
To You, I run when mountains shake
You are my shield, my hiding place
Almighty God
I will draw near
Your perfect love
Casts out all fear
In the shelter of Your presence
In the shadow of Your wings
I am safe, I am safe
I will hold onto Your promise
You will not abandon me
I am safe, I am safe
There's nothing left to fear
There′s nothing left to fear
There's nothing left to fear
There's nothing left to fear
In the shelter of Your presence
In the shadow of Your wings
I am safe
I am safe
I will hold onto Your promise
You will not abandon me
I am safe

In the shelter of Your presence
In the shadow of Your wings
I am safe
I am safe

You will not abandon me
I am safe
I am safe
I am safe

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
PSALM 91:1-4

I was listening to this song while driving to a church group tonight. After dinner with my boyfriend we only had to go five minutes away and the first turn out of the parking lot I get t boned. It was my first car accident ever and I’ve been driving for three years. When the car stopped this song was still playing and the first thing I hear after the crash is “I am safe”
It’s been a long night but praise God that no one was seriously injured. I’m praising God that no one else was in either car and my boyfriend was in his car behind me and able to stay calm when I couldn’t. I’m praising Him for healing pain almost immediately. And at first I saw it as a tragedy and was worried because I just got my moms old car… so a new car to me. I ruined it already. And then my mom tells me “this wouldn’t have been the outcome if you were in your old car”. The car I had a month ago was tiny and definitely would have been much worse. But I am safe. Praise God!!
