Story Behind The Song
The song was written at a time when I felt I had nothing to offer, but the Word showed me the best thing to offer God was a broken heart.
Song Description
Discovering the protection we have as Christians is what this song is about. The melody is smooth, with lyrics that transition from feeling unworthy to feeling empowered as a child of God.

Lyrics
under Your wings by clinton mckinney copyright 2006
bound in rejection, striving for protection, i've nothing to bring
nothing to offer, says the laugher and scoffer, but i will still sing
persecuted, cast down, but i am not out, and though...I'm suffering
Your love is revealing, this great place of healing under Your wings (go to chorus)
(chorus)
under Your wings, i'm secure;
acceptance, protection, Your loving direction
i will sing, i'm so sure... of Your love
under Your wings, i will fly
to a future, a hope, 'cause it's here i'm made whole
by my King, i will hide...the apple of your eye...
is under Your wings
i come boldly, this place most holy, i'm a...child of the King
a place of redemption, of loving correction, a cleansing spring
my soul is well, 'cause Your Word dwells, a living thing
i am so safe, when i see Your face under Your wings
(go to chorus)
a place of refuge a place of cover
where Your truth shall be my shield my buckler
a place i need today my Lord i want to stay... (go to chorus)
