Safe in the Arms of Jesus 

Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o’ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
Hark! ’tis the voice of angels
Borne in a song to me,
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea. 


Refrain:
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o’ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.

Revelation 21
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.


Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about the joy and peace we will experience when we reach our heavenly destination. Emphasize that God has given us the promise and the assurance of eternal life by way of our faith, and by way of the precious gifts of His grace and His mercy. Christ Jesus will sit at God’s right hand and we will one day be with Him. Jesus told us that He will go to prepare a place for us (John 14). Jesus promised us that we will be there also.

On that day we will be safe in the arms of Christ Jesus.
2. As the song continues, (During Verses 2 - 3) read the scripture found in John 14:1-6 and  Revelation 21:1-27. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.

Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from corroding care,
Safe from the world’s temptations,
Sin cannot harm me there.
Free from the blight of sorrow,
Free from my doubts and fears;
Only a few more trials,
Only a few more tears! (Refrain)


Jesus, my heart’s dear refuge,
Jesus has died for me;
Firm on the Rock of Ages,
Ever my trust shall be.
Here let me wait with patience,
Wait till the night is o’er;
Wait till I see the morning
Break on the golden shore. (Refrain)
