Blake Shelton Focuses On Gospel Songs In New Album
Country singer and The Voice judge Blake Shelton is taking a break from mainstream country music and focusing instead on Gospel songs on his new album titled If I’m Honest. According to Christian Today, one of the songs on the album is titled Savior’s Shadow and it is a very personal song of faith for Shelton.
“Though the devil tried to break me, my sweet Jesus won’t forsake me, when I’m in my Savior’s shadow where I’m supposed to be,” say some of the song’s lyrics.
Shelton told his Twitter followers that the idea for the song came to him in a dream. “I dreamed the song last summer,” he wrote. “I woke up and wrote down everything I could remember.”
