Have you ever longed for a place of refuge for your heart?
Strong arms to hold you when life gets too hard?
Comfort, acceptance and peace?
So it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, and life has been busy.
But God has been helping me with various things.
And I think He’s encouraging me to do more to share them. So here is one of them!
God has been taking me on a journey, discovering more and more of His love as my Father, and the hope and peace that can bring. And out of that journey came a song: a song of celebration of the joy of knowing the Father’s love- and an invitation from the Father to you.
This song is a testimony to the peace I have found in the arms of my Abba Father: the incredible, loving home I’ve found for my deepest heart.
I’ve also attempted to express something of what I believe the Father would say to those who don’t yet know what it is to find peace in Him. My words aren’t Scripture, so please don’t take them that way, but my prayer is that they will help you to find peace in the arms of Abba Father.
Finally Found Home
I’ve found a safe place;
Found open arms
Where I can rest;
Where I’m safe from harm;
In this place of surrender,
Where I gave up to start again,
I find the arms that embrace me,
Where Christ’s blood made me clean.
In the arms of Abba Father,
I can lay my burdens down.
Jesus gave His blood to wash me.
It’s all been forgiven now.
He’s been seeking me all along
And in His arms the ache is gone.
Abba Father’s arms are where I belong.
My heart has finally found home.
Healing is here.
Here I find peace.
There’s joy for the tears;
In His love, release.
And deep fears find peace now.
His love drives them away.
All the stains washed clean now.
I’ve been loved every day.
In the arms of Abba Father,
I can lay my burdens down.
Jesus gave His blood to wash me.
It’s all been forgiven now.
He’s been seeking me all along
And in His arms the ache is gone.
Abba Father’s arms are where I belong.
My heart has finally found home.
So it doesn’t matter what they say.
His love is all I need to know.
Abba Father’s arms are where I belong.
My heart has finally found home.
And He calls to you,
“Won’t you come to My arms now?
Come and be washed.
Turn from wrong. Let mercy meet you
Find forgiveness at the cross.
Through the blood of Jesus,
Your broken heart can be made whole.
The lifelong search is over.
You’ve found where you belong.”
“In My arms,” calls Abba Father,
“Come and lay your burdens down.
At the cross I wait to wash you.
Come and find forgiveness now.
I’ve been waiting here all along
And in My arms you’ll find your home.
Abba Father’s arms are where you belong
And I wait to bring you home.”
