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.
