  Arms Of Mercy 
  
  When trials are your portion 
  And your night is ever long, 
  When heartbreak steals your laughter 
  And your soul has lost its song…
  
  When little comforts leave you 
  And you’re left with stinging tears, 
  When loneliness envelops 
  And you’re bound by doubts and fears…

  
  
  Cry out for tender mercies, 
  Let the Lord’s sweet love embrace.
  Cast that heavy load upon Him 
  And look full into His face.
  
  Rest your eyes and heart upon Him, 
  Let Him soothe your weary brow.
  Let Him wipe your tears of sorrow 
  As you linger with Him there.
  
  Nestling in God’s arms of mercy 
  Brings assurance, hope and peace.
  You can know that in your struggles, 
  God’s embrace brings sweet release.
