Country crooner and “The Voice” judge Blake Shelton takes a departure from mainstream radio to release what he calls a very “important” gospel song as he gears up to release his upcoming album, If I’m Honest. His new single, “Savior’s Shadow,” is a heartfelt country hymn. “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,” he passionately sings.

Shelton first spoke of the song last year on Twitter pegging it an “important” co-write with writers Jessi Alexander and Jon Randall (JR).
