Shadow on the Wall
(Bob Nolan)
I’d been walking through the darkness,
I’d been lost beyond recall
And I’d never seen my shadow on the wall
Till I saw the Great Light shining
On the glory road ahead.
Then I turned and saw my shadow on the wall.
Let me walk in the light of the Lord
And my shadow will walk with me.
Let me follow the light of the Lord.
There my shadow will surely be
And the closer that I come to Him
The larger be my shadow on the wall.
In the greatness of my shadow
Is the greatness of my Lord
For ‘tis He who makes my shadow grow so tall,
Makes my soul rejoice with gladness
And my heart to swell with pride
For His light has cast my shadow on the wall.
Let me walk in the light of the Lord
And my shadow will walk with me.
Let me follow the light of the Lord.
There my shadow will surely be
And the closer that I come to Him
The larger be my shadow on the wall.
In the sunburst of the dawning,
In the moonbeam’s silver glow,
In the sudden flash of lightning He may call.
Let me then be standing straighter
Than I’ve ever stood before
And He’ll know me by my shadow on the wall.
Let me walk in the light of the Lord
And my shadow will walk with me.
Let me follow the light of the Lord.
There my shadow will surely be
And the closer that I come to Him
The larger be my shadow on the wall.
