Settle Down
Settle in and settle down-
Feel the presence of the one who loves you
Settle in and settle down
Rest in the fact that he has loved you
Nothing can hold him back from holding you
Nothing can keep his arms from enfolding you
For those arms are the arms that were nailed
To a cross where his love still prevailed
Those arms that hold the heavens in place
Now lifts up your head so he can see your face
The grave couldn’t keep him from coming back from death
And he’s holding us so close we can almost feel his breath
He will take great delight in you
He will quiet you with his love
He rejoices over you with a song
Your sorrows removed, you will be made strong.
He will bring you home
No matter where you roam, so be brave
The Lord your God is with you and he is mighty to save.
