Lyrics
I'm just a little flower here I'm blooming by this rock.
Sometimeds it feels so lonely in this isolated spot.
But living in the valley where He's placed me here to grow.
I try to do my best for Him, He sees me now I know.
Yes, God is in the shadows, in the valley here below,
He sees one tiny flower as its beauty softly glows.
He never fails one time, each tiny detail He controls,
Yes, God is in the shadows, He is every where I go.
He gives me morning sunshine & the cool & gentle rain,
He softly smiles upon me as I spend a few short days
He loves me as He made me, He's a loving Heavenly King
I'm never all alone, He is always watching me.

Meaning & Inspiration
"God Is in the Shadows" uses a small flower in a secluded valley to explore God's care. The flower appears overlooked, yet the lyrics portray it as fully seen by God. Sunshine, rain, and th place where it grows all fall within His attention. That picture suggests that obscurity does not put a faithful life beyond God's sight.
The chorus broadens the image from one flower to every detail of life. God's presence in the valley and Scripture's portraits of His care for small things are closely aligned here. The song does not promise an easy place to grow. Instead, it finds assurance in the belief that God remains near, sustains what He has made, and sees faithfulness even when it is hidden from others.
