In Your Arms

The only place I feel safe

When the world has become cold

When all else has failed me

You're the only one that still stands

When wondering this earth alone with not a place to call my own

Not a friend with a shoulder to cry

Not a place with a solace to seek

It is you that finds me

Embraces my soul within

Comforts the turmoil that encircles my existence

Providing your assurance

Your assurance to never deposit more on me than I can bear

Enveloping me as I realize I am naught but mortal man

Cradling me as my essence cries out in affliction

Your peace takes hold of me

Ushering me into your perfect will

Breathing strength into the chambers of my heart

Holding me, I am constricted in your sight

Shielding me in the shadows of your wings

I hear angelic whispers as I lay lethargic

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Angel wings gently brush against my face

I awake to find all that I am is in all that you are

All of my burdens are cast upon you

My sorrows you have taken

Your serenity you have given

Freely upon me your love eternal now resting
