Resting In the Arms of the Lord

It's a long title, I know...but I didn't know what else to call this song. This is one of those songs where a bunch of questions are asked and answered at the same time. While the lyrics don't exactly reflect where I am at the moment, I have had reason to ask these questions lately. I've always been blessed with being able to run around and play sport...but in the last couple of months, I've found out that I have a pinched nerve and a bulging disc in my L5. So, I have had to cut back from playing most sports. The only sport I'm currently doing is swimming and walking...when I'd much rather be out playing cricket/basketball/volleyball/running! My GP told me that if I didn't stop and take it easy, the end result could be that I would lose the use of my right leg. That's the worst case scenario, but it's still pretty sobering to someone who's always been running around doing stuff. This is a more acoustic, emotional kind of song compared to the likes of "Not Of This World" and "Together As One."

Resting In The Arms Of The Lord

V1: What does a man do

When all his strength is gone

Never to return?

How does a man live his life

Knowing that he will never be the same

PC1: There is only one way to go

One way to find strength

And that is resting in the arms of the Lord

C: He'll carry me

When my world is crashing down

He'll protect me

In Him my strength is found

What have I to fear

When I'm resting in the arms of the Lord

V2: Where does a man go

When all his strength is gone?

In whom can he confide?

Who'll stand by his side

Knowing that it'll never be the same?

PC2: There is only one place to go

One place to find strength

And that place is resting in the arms of the Lord
