Encouragement

Tomorrow's gonna be another one of those long days. I'm not sure that I'll feel like getting around to writing a post for the blog. So I'm putting this on here tonight.

When I was a kid, I remember a song called "Arms of Love," sung by Amy Grant. It was written by her, Gary Chapman, and Michael W. Smith. The words of this song are an incredible encouragement to me. I hope they're encouraging to anyone out there reading them.

Lord I'm really glad you're here.
I hope you feel the same when you see all my fear,
And how I fail,
I fall sometimes.
It's hard to walk in shifting sand.
I miss the rock and find there's nowhere left to stand,

I start to cry.

Lord, please help me raise my hands so you can pick me up.

Hold me close.

Hold me tighter.

I have found a place where I can hide.
It’s safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child who’s helped throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In your arms of love.

Storms will come and storms will go.
Wonder just how many storms it takes until
I finally know
You’re here always.
Even when my skies are far from gray,
I can stay;
Teach me to stay there,

In the place I’ve found where I can hide.
It’s safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child who’s helped throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In your arms of love.
