Resting In His Arms
Your mind may be clouded
Because of your pain
Christ understands your weakness
Just rest and in His arms and remain
Cast your mind on your blessings
Rather than your affliction
Surrender your condition
To your Father in heaven
Praise Him for His matchless love
And the sacrifice He made
As you dwell on His sacrifice
Your own suffering will fade
Song is a weapon
You can use every day
To combat discouragement
And to your Father pray…
“Lord you are my light and my salvation
Nothing shall I fear
You are my strength
Please always stay near
I need Your comfort
To get me through this trial
Soon it will be over
In just a little while
I lay my affliction
At Your loving feet
I surrender it now—
Create the enemy’s defeat
You are my Comforter
My Healer and Friend
Thank you, dear Lord
That on You, I can depend.”
