leaning on the everlasting arms.

Refrain:

Leaning, leaning, 

safe and secure from all alarms; 

leaning, leaning, 

leaning on the everlasting arms.

 

2 O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, 

leaning on the everlasting arms; 

O how bright the path grows from day to day, 

leaning on the everlasting arms.

[Refrain]

 

3 What have I to dread, what have I to fear, 

leaning on the everlasting arms? 

I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, 

leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain]

God is doing a new thing and taking us to a new level. He calls us to seek him, and he will do miracles in our midst. This year we are praying for miracles in our lives, the lives of our families, and our Church family. As we pray and seek His face, we are going to give God Majestic Praise along the way. The song writers said it: I seek a miracle every day and I just want to Praise him.

  1. What does it mean to look at not only the beginning of Job's life
    but also the ending of Job's life Howby doing this changes your
    perspective on what you're going through?
