Arms

I walked in darkness
without seeing light
I walked in fire
but did not ignite

not knowing arms of love
broken and forlorn
a wounded soul
dying too young

I walked in truth
but still saw lies
I toyed with faith
false beliefs aside

looked for arms
to ease my need
a selfish heart
that would not bleed

Truth can penetrate
to set me free
the power of love
only when I believe

His arms of grace
encircling me in love
a restoring soul
God's healing from above
