    I’ve decided that I will post a different song/lyrical poem of mine every other Tuesday, so here is another . . . “Father’s Arms”

    It’s typical for me to fear.

    It’s so hard to remember that You’re near.

    But when I cry, You reach down from the sky

    And You hold me close to Your heart.

     

    My Father’s arms are holding me still

    I am at peace for His loves fulfills

    Ev’ry need and each craving of my heart.

    When the darkness fall around,

    There I will be safe and sound.

    My Father’s arms is where I’m found.

     

    It’s crazy that I run and hide.

    It’s too easy to forget that You’re inside.

    Yet You reach our Your hand and help me stand.

    As a Father You will guide me.

     

    My Father’s arms are holding me close.

    I’m at rest in His love enclosed.

    Ev’ry joy and each sorrow of my soul

    In His heart is understood

    And forever He is good

    My Father’s arms is where I’m found.

     

    How deep the love that from above

    Reaches out for his fearing child!

    How strong the arms that shield from harms! 

    I can trust in His might hand.

     

    How true the words that I have heard;

    He will never abandon me!

    How sweet the rest that at His breast

    Soothes and surrounds me!

     

    My Father’s arms are holding me still

    I am at peace for His loves fulfills

    Ev’ry need and each craving of my heart.

    When the darkness fall around,

    There I will be safe and sound.

    My Father’s arms is where I’m found.

     

    My Father’s arms are holding me close.

    I’m at rest in His love enclosed.

    Ev’ry joy and each sorrow of my soul

    In His heart is understood

    And forever He is good

    My Father’s arms is where I’m found.

     

    In His strong arms He holds me.

    As His child I will always be.

    My Father’s arms is where I’m found.

     

    So that’s that. Again, feel free to critique, comment and share.
