I have watched you child,
Holding on to what you think will save you.
And though you hear me calling at your name, You won't let go.
I know you know the words,"I will never leave you or forsake you"
But you live as if you still believe your all alone,
The grip that hold you tight that takes up all your time,
Keeps you from believing what I say--
You cannot go below my resting arms,
No matter how fast or far you fall,
No matter how lost you have become,
My embrace is wider than the sun.
So let go of what keeps you in the past and fall into these arms that call you back.
No matter how much you have been harmed,
You cannot go below my resting arms.
Of what are afraid, has your vision come to be so narrow,
That you believe in only what you see and nothing more!
I know you know my heart.
I embrace the lily and the sparrow.
Whoever thought you different does not know how much I love you.
Beyond the tears you cry in those hopeless eyes,
My welcome waits to gently hold you tight.
CH. You cannot go below my resting arms,
No matter how fast or far you fall,
No matter how lost you have become,
My embrace is wider than the sun.
So let go of what keeps you in the past and fall into these arms that call you back.
No matter how much you have been harmed,
You cannot go below my resting arms.
Do you know that my love can sustain you and that I will never leave your side?
Release the hold from anything that claims you,
And live your life your life while you are held in mine.
CH. You cannot go below my resting arms,
No matter how fast or far you fall,
No matter how lost you have become,
My embrace is wider than the sun.
So let go of what keeps you in the past and fall into these arms that call you back.
No matter how much you have been harmed,
You cannot go below my resting arms.
