You will be safe in His arms. You will be safe in His arms
The hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made, He will be with you always
When everything is falling apart, you will be safe in His arms

I was lost
I was in chains
The world had a hold of me
My heart was a stone
I was covered in shame
When He came for me
I couldn’t run, couldn’t run from His presence
I couldn’t run, couldn’t run from His arms
Jesus, He loves me, He loves me, He is for me
Jesus, how can it be, He loves me, He is for me
And it was a fire
Deep in my soul
I’ll never be the same
I stepped out of the dark
And into the light
When He called my name
I couldn’t run, couldn’t run from His presence
I couldn’t run, couldn’t run from His arms
He holds the stars and He holds my heart
With healing hands that bear the scars
The rugged cross where He died for me
My only hope, my everything

I absolutely love the words to this song. Although they are simply stated and well known truths, if you really meditate on them–they are transforming!
What if we really took a moment to think about these statements?
Jesus loves me! He loves YOU! And His love for us will always be the same.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~Romans 8:38-39
Jesus is for me! He is for YOU! He has our best interests at heart, and he will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). He is on our side!
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? ~Romans 8:31
Take comfort in the fact that Jesus loves you and that Jesus is for you today! ❤
It’s a profound prayer of the heart–completely surrendering oneself to God. I heard the song “Completely” by Among the Thirsty on the radio the other day, and it has been running through my mind ever since. I can’t help but relate to the honesty of the lyrics and the urgency of the cry. As you read the words and/or listen to the song, allow the Lord to speak to your heart and to draw you closely to Himself in complete surrender.
I’m feeling so small
Standing here weeping
As I’m coming clean
Of the secrets I’m keeping
I’ve caused so much pain
To the ones I love the most
And I’m falling apart
As I carry my heart to Your throneI am completely surrendering
Finally giving You everything
You’re my redeemer, I run to the cross
Because You are more than enough
Lord complete me
Cause I’m Yours completelyI’m letting go
There’s nothing I own
The treasures I held
Just weighed down my soul
And there’s nothing left
Inside of me
But a longing for You
And a longing to be the man that You needI am completely surrendering
Finally giving You everything
You’re my redeemer, I run to the cross
Because You are more than enough
Lord complete me
Cause I’m Yours completelyI let Your gifts take the place of you
But You pulled up my selfishness from it’s roots
I am a broken and fragile me
But I’m where You want me to beI am completely surrendering
Finally giving You everything
You’re my redeemer, I run to the cross
Because You are more than enough
Lord complete me
Cause I’m Yours completely
Lord complete me
Cause I’m Yours completely–“Completely,” by Among the Thirsty
