Everlasting Arms
The gift of God’s Presence my ultimate joy
His arms enfolded around me
His arms of strength that can never be broken
And out of whose grip I can never be taken.
Human arms grow weary; even love’s embrace
But God’s enfolding is everlasting
My security does not rely on my faith
But on His protective keeping.
No human power can ever snatch me away
Nor even the darkness of death
For God has promised to clasp me tight
And carry me through to eternal light.
John 1:14
Deuteronomy 33:27
