Into the Arms of Compassion

I see the rainbow as the storm  breaks
I see many people running for heaven's gate
I wonder why as they stare
Often compassionate whispers of woes and care
I keep reaching in reaching in, they keep reaching out
Lullabies and goodnights
Fleeting dreams of angel plights
As I wander off into the night
Tenderly awaiting the arms of Jesus Christ
Into the arms of the Savior
Into the arms of the Savior
Jesus holds me close
And He's my choice
Tenderly awaiting Him embracing me
I am into the arms of compassion

Tall, tall, trees scaled mountain with icy leaves
Leave me to believe that every living thing that breathes
Must receive and must believe
Often compassionate whispers of woes and cares
I keep reaching in they keep reaching here
I won't want to reiterate as I approach the golden gates
In the arms of compassion
All that matters is
Fleeting dreams of angels plights
As I wander off into the night
Tenderly awaiting the arms of Jesus Christ
Into the arms of compassion
