In the Shade

In the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC), a group of 300 Spartan soldiers were guarding a pass in the mountains against thousands of invading Persians. They were sent a message from the Persians informing them that the Persian army was so numerous that their arrows would block out the light of the sun. One of the Spartan generals sent back the reply, “Good, then we get to fight in the shade.” When Mother Cecilia heard this story, she immediately saw it as an analogy of the spiritual life. The enemy (the devil and his demons) fill the sky (the mind) with intrusive thoughts and temptations, but we are empowered by the grace of God to continue praying and loving "in the shade." A fruit of Mother Cecilia's prayer, this song is woven with Scripture references. Lyrics by Mother Cecilia Music by Mother Cecilia and Gina DeFilippo Produced by Gina DeFilippo Lyrics: The terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day aim their hate at me. When the sky’s full of arrows we’ll fight in the shade. My foes encircle me with deadly intent but shall not pierce my soul. When the sky’s full of arrows we’ll fight in the shade. The enemy never ceases speaking evil against me: proof that I am good. When the sky’s full of arrows we’ll trust in the shade. For You I bear reproach, shame covers me, but in You I am safe. When the sky’s full of arrows we’ll rest in the shade. In the cool of the day You spread a table before me in the sight of my enemies. When the sky’s full of arrows we’ll feast in the shade. “Get down off that cross if you are God’s son.” But I know the truth. When the sky’s full of arrows we’ll love in the shade.
