IN YOUR ARMS FATHER

Beneath the covers I did lay
Throughout the entire day
Thought I could sleep them away
But before me they display
Staring at me along the way
Too long, I have gone astray
Here I am oh Lord
Cover me with your arms

My strength altogether did fail
The pain caused me to wail
Leaving me broke and so frail
Now behind the world I trail
Just your whisper can grant me bail
So I thought to send this mail
I can’t anymore oh Lord
Cover me with your arms

This is more than a plight
I delight no sleep at night
Lost a thousand and one fight
I realized it is not by might
I thought I was too bright
Worse, in my own eyes right
Now I need your redeeming light
I surrender it all oh Lord
Cover me with your arms
