ARE YOU NOW IN DEPTHS
Christian Song Lyrics
Are you now in depths of sorrow,
where no arm can reach so low?
There is One whose arms almighty
reach beyond your deepest woe.
God the Eternal is your refuge.
Let it still your wild alarms;
underneath your deepest sorrow
are the everlasting arms.
Other arms grow faint and weary,
these can never faint nor fail:
others reach our mounts of blessing,
these our lowest, loneliest vale.
Oh, that all might know His friendship!
Oh, that all might see His charms!
Oh, that all might have beneath them
Jesus‟ everlasting arms!
Underneath us, oh, how easy!
We have not to mount on high,
but to sink into His fullness,
and in trustful weakness lie.
And we find our humbling failures
save us from the strength that harms,
we may fail, but underneath us
are the everlasting arms.
Arms of Jesus! fold me closer
to Thy strong and loving breast,
till my spirit on Thy bosom
finds its everlasting rest;
and when time‟s last sands are sinking,
shield my heart from all alarms
