Poem - In Your Arms

In Your Arms

© Alainna Norland 5/25/2015

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

I can stand through every storm

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

my heart's secure and warm

though I face trials

though I sink in sinking sand

though I'm in denial

though I cannot see Your hand

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

I know that can stand

though I cry to sleep each night

I know you will not send

a battle that I cannot fight

that will cause my soul to bend

I bear such heavy weight

that tries to drag me down

Yet I will reach for Heavens gate

till I can touch Your gown

So as I trudge along this road

my shoulders heavy with sorrow

I will give Your hands this heavy load

and look forward to tomorrow

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

I can look upon Your face

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

I am covered with Your grace

Though I may still fall and stumble

I never shall forget

How You loved and became humble

And never had regret

Lord please make me more like You

more loving every day

Don't let me hate

but give me grace

to share along my way

There are so many who do not know

the peace found in Your arms

There are Christians who do not show

that they are free from Satan's harm

I want to show the world, my Lord

that I don't live in fear

I want to show the hurt and lost

that there is joy amidst the tears

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

I find peace among the shame

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

I don't have to be afraid

You have overcome the wicked one

and paid my endless debt

You have darkness, overcome

and Your pain, You don't regret

Now You share each tear and laugh

with all who will accept You

And still when all the joy past

I cry in darkness with You

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

I cry but am not feeble

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

I dance on wings of eagles

And as I dance

I cry and laugh

through all the pain in my heart

I know I will see better days

when only laughter's in my heart

In Your arms Lord

I am strong

I can stand though I am weary

In Your arms Lord

I find peace

though nights grow dark and eerie

In Your arms Lord

I will rise

though my heart is week and broken

In Your arms Lord

I will hear

the promises You have spoken

I may not be a perfect child

I know I am a sinner

But I'm a child of the king

and because of Him I'm a winner

In His arms

my sin's forgiven

I do not live in shame

In His arms

my tears are His

I stand firm in His name

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

I am Your perfect creation

In Your arms Lord

in Your arms

You call me bride
Your good creation
