The Everlasting Arms of Jesus

Oh I shall sing of the longsuffering

Patience and the kindness-That overcame my blindness

Oh I shall sing of the sheltering wings

The loving arms of grace-Their comforting embrace


Oh the everlasting arms of Jesus

Still hold me in the present as they have in the past

Oh the everlasting arms, the everlasting arms

His everlasting arms shall hold me fast


Oh I shall sing and I shall cling

To the loving arms around me- A fortress that surrounds me

For resting there within his care

His strong right arm shall hold me-His righteous arms enfold me


Oh the everlasting arms of Jesus

Still hold me in the present as they have in the past

Oh the everlasting arms, the everlasting arms

His everlasting arms shall hold me fast


Limbs that were outstretched on the cross for me

Arms that bear the wounds that set me free 

To be pinioned by his power, like a mighty tower

Before me and behind me Wrapped in the grace that binds me

Held in an embrace that transcends time and space

I am safe from harm in His everlasting arms


Oh the everlasting arms of Jesus

Still hold me in the future as they have in the past

Oh the everlasting arms, the everlasting arms

His everlasting arms shall hold me fast


Deuteronomy 33:27
