In His Arms......

I found this, amongst some other meaningful and sentimental writings, in an old journal from 2002. I have songs I was writing for a Christian music artist, but never gave to him. Also, sermon notes, personal notes on scriptures, and poetry. That's why I love note booking and journaling....when you find an old journal from years ago, you find such meaningful memories--some you may have even forgotten about.........

When I look out in the world
I see sin has taken its toll
Then I look again, and I
understand God's role. Every living, breathing thing
has been touched by God's hand
We were all placed on this earth
to live out God's plan.
So, when your faith just isn't strong
There is power in our prayers,
In His arms is where you belong.

In His arms there is comfort,
His peace is finally found-
In His arms there is joy, the
place where love abounds.
His arms, they are strong;
For just the touch of His hand
Can lead you down the path of righteousness,
into the Promised Land.

There's so many who haven't heard
All the promise of God's Word.
We are followers of Christ-
we have work to do,
His Spirit is here to guide us,
to help us follow through.
It's our job to let them know:
In His arms is where to go.

In His arms there is comfort,
His peace is finally found-
In His arms there is joy, the
place where love abounds.
His arms, they are strong;
For just the touch of His hand
Can lead you down the path of righteousness,
into the Promised Land.

Keep in mind this was in 2002, when I had first turned to God. I didn't have any experience in writing anything that wasn't dark and depressing. I was quite pleased to find this treasure among the others I will also share at some point.

It is so wonderful when your inspiration turns from the corruption and destruction of the world to the beauty and majesty of the Most High. My King is my heart's desire and that desire flows out of my heart and onto paper ........

Hope you all enjoy!
