Arms of Jesus
Embraced by Grace: A Journey to Redemption in the Arms of Jesus
Lyrics
When you bow your head
Expressing a moment of prayer or reflection.
Say a prayer for me
Requesting prayers from others for the speaker.
That I may walk
Desire to lead a virtuous life symbolized by "walk on the streets of Gold."
On the streets of Gold
Aspiration for a heavenly existence or afterlife.
But don't cry
Encouraging loved ones not to weep for the speaker.
Don't cry for me
Reassuring that the speaker has departed with purpose.
I've gone to find
Expressing a journey to seek essential knowledge or understanding.
What I need to know
Continued pursuit of enlightenment or answers.
If the arms, arms of Jesus
Introducing the theme of seeking solace in the arms of Jesus.
Are wide open, wide open for me
Describing the openness and welcome of Jesus' arms.
I will run into the arms of Jesus
Expressing the speaker's intention to embrace Jesus' comforting presence.
If they're open, wide open for me
Reiterating the desire for Jesus' open and comforting embrace.
I've lived hard
Reflecting on a challenging and intense life experience.
I've lost my way
Admitting to losing one's way or facing difficulties.
And drifted far
Acknowledging a significant distance from the right path.
I've gone astray
Expressing a sense of going astray or deviating from a moral course.
But don't cry
Repeating the encouragement for loved ones not to cry.
Don't cry for me
Reiterating the speaker's departure with a plea not to weep.
Just pray I'll find
Asking for prayers to find the grace of the Savior.
My Savior's grace
Seeking the divine support and guidance of the Savior's grace.
If the arms, arms of Jesus
Reintroducing the theme of finding solace in Jesus' arms.
Are wide open, wide open for me
Reiterating the welcoming nature of Jesus' open arms.
I will run into the arms of Jesus
Expressing the speaker's commitment to running into Jesus' comforting embrace.
If they're open, wide open for me
Affirming the desire for Jesus' open arms to be available for the speaker.
