Leaning On the Arms of Love

Like my heart might not beat
Without Him there to steer me
Toward the good and lovely things
The joy and hope, the beautiful light
Surrounding me with inspiration
Peace that leaves me completely at ease
The warmth of a place where I will be
Accepted by a Savior who listens to me

Like my soul could possibly glow
Any brighter than it does when Jesus
Sends His light through my temperament
Strengthening my thoughts, my mind
With wisdom that I might not find
Without His love, His wonderful hope
Pouring out across the miracle
Of a life meant to give back to Him
All the gratitude and praise I can give

Like my spirit sings of grace everlasting
There comes the promise of a light
In hues of kindness, gentleness and faith
Feelings so alive they silence all the pain
Whisper through my life in a breathless
Smile, an insight into love that only God above
Could inspire in my soul, set upon my dreams
Filling me with praise that lives to bring Him
Devotion, adoration and pure, tender worship
To silence every worry or doubt
With the joy of belief that never clouds
Out the wonder of His Almighty Grace
The feelings that make me believe
He is the answer to my every prayer

Like love has been rained down across my thoughts
In a brilliant calm who simply believes
There is music alive, dancing on the inside
Of the heart and soul who know that His light
Shines bright across the life of those who listen
To the presence of His love, His grace, His hope
The overflowing splendor of a God who knows
Everything about me, the happy and sad
The good and the bad – the best and the worst
And still loves me like I’m His first child
His cherished smile – the apple of His eye

He is alive – here on the inside
Where I know that His light
Will brighten the darkest gloom
Filling me with a love and joy
That is His gift to those He knows
Love Him from the depths or their soul
Where they know Him as the love
Who frees them from the pain and sorrow
Giving them the greatest gift of all
The gift of a Savior who will amaze 
With His overflowing love, soothing 
Every ache, every mistake with His grace!
