He’ll Drive All the Shadows Away

The cares of the day oft per­plex us

The path­way we tread oft seems bare;

The sun seems to shine but for oth­ers

There seems to be no one to care;

But some­one is watch­ing our foot­steps

He’s guid­ing us o’er the dark way;

His love

like the glo­ri­ous sun­shine

Will drive all the sha­dows away.

That life which the sun nev­er brighten­ed

With mi­se­ry and pain ev­ery­where

May reach out in faith and may find Him

Who waits ev­ery sor­row to share.

He holds out His hands pierced and wound­ed

He knows of the bur­den each day;

He’ll take all the thorns from our path­way

And drive all the sha­dows away.

There’s no one can help us like Je­sus

No bur­den’s too hea­vy for Him;

He wants ev­ery life filled with sun­shine;

With light that shall nev­er grow dim.

And dai­ly He’s watch­ing our foot­steps

And lead­ing us all the lone way;

We’ll trust in His dear lov­ing kind­ness

To drive all the sha­dows away.
