Chorus 1
Light up the way of Your heart
Move me like You do the mountains
Move me like You do the wind
And I’ll chase Your voice
through the dark
Fix my eyes on the unexpected
In the wonder of Your shadow-step

Move me like You do the mountains
Move me like You do the wind
And I’ll chase Your voice
through the dark
Fix my eyes on the unexpected
In the wonder of Your shadow-step
(Take another step)

I can’t explain Your heart
Or dare to trace-out all You are
But when I think about
The road You took for love
I know Your grace will stay the path
Or dare to trace-out all You are
But when I think about
The road You took for love
I know Your grace will stay the path

Shadow Step - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song Shadow Step by Hillsong UNITED is a beautiful reminder of the grace and mercy of God. The lyrics speak of how God is always there, tracing our steps and never leaving us even when we feel lost and forsaken. This is a truth that is echoed in the Bible in Psalm 139:7-10 which says, “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”
The chorus of the song speaks of how God moves us like the mountains and the wind, and how we can chase His voice through the dark. This is a reminder of the power of God’s voice and how it can lead us through even the darkest of times. This is echoed in Isaiah 30:21 which says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”
The bridge of the song speaks of how we can never fully understand the heart of God or trace out all that He is, but when we think about the road He took for love, we know His grace will stay the path. This is a reminder of the love of God that is spoken of in 1 John 4:19 which says, “We love because he first loved us.”
The song Shadow Step is a beautiful reminder of the grace and mercy of God and how He is always with us, leading us through the dark and showing us the way. May we all be reminded of His love and grace and be ready for the unexpected as we take each step in faith.
