HEAVEN'S EVERLASTING ARMS

Heaven’s everlasting arms
can stretch though time and life,
the Lord bends down with His grace
and touches the heart with His love.
Even when we fall into a deep and long valley,
God’s hands will not let go,
because they never caress only when we are walking,
not ceasing to care should we stumble along the way.

It is when the morning has a mantle of heaviness
His spirit bearing feathers,
should the sunrise come with wintry trial
a fire He brings to warm our souls.

It doesn’t come with overwhelming,
thunderous announcements,
arriving more like a soft and silent wind,
yet experienced so intently in our spirits,
until you know His embrace that grants such bountiful bliss.

Then the inside rise as a choir’s praise,
joy’s harp plays such moving peace,
during the times
when we are alone and so in need,
as our lives are prepared to truly listen and accept
the incredible cornucopia of blessing
that He pours out in so many unexpected ways.
