"Safe"

I got Phil Wickham's new album "Heaven and Earth" the other week. It's pretty good, I must say. While my current favorite from the album is "Cielo", I've had the song "Safe" running through my head quite a bit lately, and I wanted to share it here today.
There's no actual video for the song (not yet anyway), so it's just a "video" of Phil's picture. I think that's a good thing though because you can really focus on the words instead of being distracted by whatever's going on in the video. So, close your eyes (if you want) and enjoy the beauty of the truth of this song (oh, and that's Bart Millard of MercyMe singing with Phil).




Verse:
To the one who's dreams are falling all apart
And all you're left with is a tired and broken heart
I can tell by your eyes you think your on your own
but you're not all alone

Have you heard of the One who can calm the raging seas
Give sight to the blind, pull the lame up to their feet
With a love so strong He'll never let you go
oh you're not alone

Chorus:
You will be safe in His arms
You will be safe in His arms
'Cause the hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made
He will be with You always
When everything is falling apart
You will be safe in His arms

Verse 2:
Did you know that the voice that brings the dead to life
Is the very same voice that calls you now to rise
So hear Him now He's calling you home
You will never be alone

Chorus

Bridge:
These are the hands that built the mountains
the hands that calm the seas
These are the arms that hold the heavens
they are holding you and me

These are the hands that healed the leper
Pulled the lame up to their feet
These are the arms that were nailed to a cross
to break our chains and set us free

Chorus
