I cry and You hold me in Your arms forever.

Lonely, lost and so afraid,
But You are only just a tear away from rushing
in once again - to show me
You’re both God and Savior in spite of my behavior.

I cry, You care.
I call, You’re there.
I fall and You pick me up and set me on my way.
I fear, You dare.
I need, You share.
I reach and You hold me in Your arms forever.

Glory, left behind - oh, what a wondrous story.
Never mind the sorrow and the care that I bear
When I try to live without You.

I cry, You care.
I call, You’re there.
I fall and You pick me up and set me on my way.
I fear, You dare.
I need, You share.
I reach and You hold me in Your arms forever.

I can’t live without You.
Why do I try?
It’s like I’m running from the air.
No matter where I go, You’re there.

I cry, You care.
I call, You’re there.
I fall and You pick me up and set me on my way.
I fear, You dare.
I need, You share.
I reach and You hold me in Your arms forever.

You hold me in Your arms,
You hold me in Your arms forever.
