ARMS OF MERCY

WHEN TRIALS ARE YOUR PORTION

AND YOUR NIGHT IS EVER LONG,

WHEN HEARTBREAK STEALS YOUR LAUGHTER,

AND YOUR SOUL HAS LOST IT'S SONG.

WHEN LITTLE CONFORTS LEAVE YOU

AND YOU'RE LEFT WITH STINGING TEARS,

WHEN LONELINESS ENVELOPS

AND YOU'RE BOUND BY DOUBTS AND FEARS.

CRY OUT FOR TENDER MERCIES,

LET THE LORD'S SWEET LOVE EMBRACE.

CAST THAT HEAVY LOAD UPON HIM

AND LOOK FULL INTO HIS FACE.

REST YOUR EYES AND HEART UPON HIM,

LET HIM SOOTHE YOUR WEARY BROW,

LET HIM WIPE YOUR TEARS OF SORROW

AS YOU LINGER WITH HIM THERE.

NESTLING IN GOD'S ARMS OF MERCY

BRINGS ASSURANCE, HOPE AND PEACE.

YOU CAN KNOW THAT IN YOUR STRUGGLES

GOD'S EMBRACE BRINGS SWEET RELEASE.....
