you overshadow us – v2


you, oh Lord, your presence
your Spirit within
the feeling of you with us
filling our hearts
descended from heaven
walking here on earth

you overshadow us
like a blanket, a feeling
filling us with your presence
a knowing you are with us
in this walk, to lead, to guide us
to keep us from all harm
