Curled Up in His Arms

 Curled Up in His Arms

 

Sometimes I just need to get away,

From the harshness of life,

From the pain

And all the strife.

 

Closing my eyes, I let go,

Retreating to a place warm.

I let the tears flow,

Curled up in His arms.

 

When life becomes too much,

He is my gentle stay.

At His touch,

My hope is sustained.

 

My safe place,

My harbor in the storm.

I find His grace

Curled up in His arms.

 

So many places I wish to go,

So many things I wish to be.
In God, my faith holds

Even when I cannot see.

 

At His touch, the Holy Spirit dwells

Within me; I’m in no harm.

I need to be held,

Curled up in His arms.

Absolutely! For without Him and His arms enfolding us we would only know chaos, loneliness, lost in this broken world. Such a beautiful and gracious poem celebrating the Saviour who let go of the Father's arms to die for our sins, he who knew no sin, loving us on the croos and securing His love for us eternally. Thank you so much for your wondrous portrait of faith and comfort and grace!

This is so beautiful. I use to feel this way about my husband when he was alive. God has been there all of the time to do that job for us. Valentine
