The Everlasting Arms

The Everlasting Arms
Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster
Music by Martin Broones

When you walk with love,
Night will turn to day,
Love will take you in her arms,
And help you find the way.

Love will make you free.
Free from all alarms,
Love will give you eyes to see
The everlasting arms.

In times like these help me to know the way I should walk.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
God is my strength and my salvation
Of whom shall I be afraid?

There is no fear in love; perfect love casts out fear;
I will have no other gods before Thee,
I will love my neighbor as my own.
I will love the Lord my God with all my heart and soul

For God is my refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.

When you walk with love,
God is ev’rywhere,
Love has room to blossom
In the meadowlands of prayer;*

Rich the heart that sees,
Over hills and farms,
Branching out like God’s green trees
The everlasting arms.
The everlasting arms.

*Alternative lyrics
So in times like these,
Filled with grave alarms,
Come into the refuge of
The everlasting arms.
The everlasting arms.
