In Your Arms

I'm on a song 'kick,' I think, because it seems like every day there's a new song I'm loving. Today it's "In Your Arms" by Meredith Andrews. This song is so beautiful and real. It's so true for many of us, I think, with how busy we are. It sort of hones in on how easy it is to lose focus of the One thing that matters, which is Jesus. It also puts into words the one thing I so many times want to do...drown out the world and focus on Him. But then I get distracted. And that's not where I want to be. I want to be in His arms. Showered in endless grace. Giving Him my fears, because He is bigger. Letting go of the world and grabbing hold of Jesus. Letting Him hold me. Ahh. I am tearing up and in awe of this ridiculous love He has for me. For all of us.

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do!


In Your Arms

I’m turning the world off
Embracing the silence
Walking away from all the voices
That are Screaming in my ear

I've been too caught up
I've been so stressed out
All of the noise replaced the whisper
That used to be so clear

So I close every door
Put my face back on the floor

And I'm in Your arms
Where I belong
There's no other place for me
Than right where You are
Some things just don't change
When I call Your name
You never hesitate to wrap me in endless grace
When I'm in Your arms

I’m letting my fears go
Giving You control
For You are the one who holds me closer
In my soul's darkest night

Everything I see
Is so temporary
So help me to run the race before me
With eternity in sight

Now I close every door
Put my face back on the floor

To sit at Your feet
At Your table of mercy
To gaze on Your beauty, my Lord
To drink from Your well
And be changed by Your glory
How could I ask for more
Jesus, how could I ask for more
