(Remember back when we we’re small children and something would frighten us? How mom or Dad would take us in their arms and hold us tight, and we knew everything would be alright?
Well awhile back I had some things bothering me and I was praying. I mean I was giving it all I had. That’s when I felt it, that feeling from long ago. So I wrote this response so you could know.)
Loving Arms
There’s no place I’d rather be, than in your loving arms.
I feel so safe and warm there in your loving arms.
When the world outside becomes so dark and cold
And I tremble in fear as those cold winds blow.
I run to you crying, reach out to me and take hold.
For there’s no place I’d rather be, than in your loving arms.
Where I feel so safe and warm there in those loving arms.
When everyone else seems to turns against me
I know you always want what is best for me.
When my whole world is spinning out of control
You are there to hold me and calm my very soul.
No, there’s no place I’d rather be, than in your loving arms.
A place of comfort and peace so safe and warm
Is always waiting there for me your loving arms.
I’m always safe and secure cradled in God’s loving arms.
Mercy, comfort and peace is waiting there for you
In God’s loving arms.

Show Your Mercy
Show your Mercy (ps 57)
Show your mercy
Show your love
Hear my plea
From heaven above
As the evil ones
Pursue me day and night
I’ll proclaim your holy might
When I am weak
And I feel that sting
Let me take refuge
Beneath your wings
Show your mercy
Show your love
Hear my plea
From heaven above
I dwell among lions,
That threaten to devour.
But I am not in fear,
Because of your mighty power.
My lips shall sing your praise,
My heart is filled with delight.
My house will know of you.
For your ways are just and right.
Show your mercy
Show your love
Hear my plea
From heaven above

His Gift
His Gift
His gift to me is love unending
A new life with Him each day beginning.
He dried the tears I was crying,
With His gift of love undying.
I wandered around cause I didn’t know
That anyone could love me so.
I was down on myself, I couldn’t cope,
I was about to give up hope.
In my dark a light was reaching out to me
And mercy came to set me free.
What a glorious day that was for me,
When God’s own Son smile down on me.
His gift to me is love unending
A new life with Him each day beginning.
He dried the tears I was crying,
With His gift of love undying.
So when you’re down and feeling low,
Unsure of which way to go,
Look to the cross you’ll find Him there,
The one who loves and cares.
His gift to you and me, His unending love,
Comes from the Father above.
Show Him how much you love Him so.
Share His love with others you know.
His gift to me is love unending
A new life with Him each day beginning.
He dried the tears I was crying,
With His gift of love undying.
