Into the Arms of God

Posted on by Marla

There’s this longing in my soul, which no one understands…
It’s more than just a feeling, more than I can stand
Deeper than the ocean, I will hold God’s hand…
Life is more than a happy dance, or, success with fellow-man…
It’s something that only those who’ve walked
And lived and sought and beheld and talked…
More than a book, more than a look,
It is…
Surrender of the outer life, where Angels live and trod…
Into the invisible place, falling into the arms, of a loving, caring, God…
Cloak removed and all revealed…
Time no more, time is still…
Soul received in glorious fill…
Into the arms of God.
Into the arms of God I live…
Spirit free, Spirit filled…
No more worries, no more pain…
Life forever…death is gain
Under heavens window sill
Waiting for His perfect will…
Enter the arms of God!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
