Leaning on the Everlasting Arms 

What a fellowship, what a joy divine, 
leaning on the everlasting arms; 
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine, 
leaning on the everlasting arms. 
Refrain: 
Leaning, leaning, 
safe and secure from all alarms; 
leaning, leaning, 
leaning on the everlasting arms.

O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, 
leaning on the everlasting arms; 
O how bright the path grows from day to day, 
leaning on the everlasting arms. (Refrain) 

What have I to dread, what have I to fear, 
leaning on the everlasting arms? 
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, 
leaning on the everlasting arms. (Refrain) 

Psalm 133
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 

2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Worship Suggestion:
1. The sound file is looped.
2. As the song plays the first time (during Verse 1), introduce the  readings about the fellowship of the followers of Jesus Christ. Emphasize how important it is to come together in unity, love, and peace. Then read

the scripture from Psalm 133:1-3. 
3. As Verses 2 and 3 are playing, Read Colossians 3:12-17.  Let the song end.
4. When the song restarts, sing verses 1-3 together
5. Prayer and Meditation.
