Country superstar Blake Shelton trades in boots and trucks for church pews with his gospel song ‘Savior’s Shadow.’
This inspiring song was featured on Blake’s 2016 album, If I’m Honest.
“I'm standing in my Savior's shadow
He is watching over me
I feel the rain, I hear the thunder
As he cries for me”
You may recognize Blake Shelton as the loud-mouthed coach on The Voice or his numerous number one hits such as ‘Old Red’ or ‘Austin.’ But today, Blake is sharing a softer side with this incredible song. “I have a song called ‘Savior’s Shadow’ on my current album that I actually dreamed. I woke up and there was more of the song in my dream, but all I could remember was the first verse—I sang it into my phone and I never forgot it.”
“I'm standing in my Savior's shadow
Grace will lead to where I'm free
I take his hand, we walk together
And his light shines on me”
This is not the first time that Blake has spoken up about his faith. Some of his other hits such as ‘God Gave Me You,’ ‘Jesus Got A Tight Grip’ and ‘God’s Country’ all made the Billboard charts.
This country gospel blend is certainly a winning combination and I love hearing this record-breaking artist give praise to the Lord. It is definitely a blessing to hear him sing this truth and we all need this reminder that we are safe in the arms of the Lord.
