Carry me in your arms Daddy
I don’t mean to stray away from the one who loves me
Keep me in your pasture, grazing upon the words of life
Like a sheep, hold me so that I may hear your heart beating
I feel like I’ve known the way to life but I keep dabbling in sorrow
I feel like I’ve been hurt beyond repair, because my heart has broken
Struggling to keep my head up and looking into my Savior’s eyes
Feeling the warmth that comes from you whisperin’ I’ve finally found you
Layin’ on my back with my hands outstretched toward you
Feelin’ my way through the bitter cold, knowin’ with each breath I am one step closer
Telling you how I feel is probably the best because I know you’ll understand
I don’t see how you could take all my sin upon you on the cross
Sometimes I don’t know where to turn because I’ve used the clouds to cover my eyes
Thinkin’ I was protecting myself by hiding from the rays of the sun
Then I realized that your light kept shining through, and you wouldn’t go away
I want to rest in your peace, as you hold me gently in your arms
The shepherd will carry me close when I feel I need to run away
He will find me when I stray away
He will welcome me with His words of love toward me
I just wanna look at the stars and see His face, and let my soul feel His glory.
11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.
Isaiah 40:11 (New International Version)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:6 (New International Version)
