Lyrics
Gentle Arms of Jesus
(c)2008 Carrie LaFollette/Eva Wilson
VI
You were growing, I was growing, too
Knowing I would share my hopes and dreams with you
Treasuring your sweetness, my little child within
Someday we?ll never have to say goodbye again
CHORUS
I believe you were the answer to my prayers
Although I couldn't hold you very long
He will always keep you in His tender care
For the gentle arms of Jesus are strong
Oh, the gentle arms of Jesus are strong
VII
I have questions I don?t understand
But I know you?re safe now in His loving Hands
Resting in His presence, surrounded by His light
His peace washes over me His arms hold me tight
bridge:
I wanted one more lullaby ~ one more goodnight
One more way to say I love you, my child
The Lord is watching over you,
He'll take good care of you
He?s singing over you
CHORUS
I believe you were the answer to my prayers
Although I couldn't hold you very long
He will always keep you in His tender care
For the gentle arms of Jesus are strong
Oh, the gentle arms of Jesus are strong
