Swept Away into the Arms of God
 
Swept away by the world, but into the arms of God
Swept away by the wind and into the power of Love
For the Spirit blows and He frees
He inspires and He transforms –
Just call on Him – ‘Jesus!’
And we hope, oh we hope – only in Him
 
Change is coming now, for a glorious sight we see –
God of power and God of might
Standing tall in our midst.
 
Oh, thank You, Lord, for You gather us close
And You lay Your healing hands upon our hearts.
Jesus – so wonderful - calling us by name,
How blessed are we, for we belong to Him!
 
Oh, ancient doors, open wide and let the Lord -
The Ancient of Days - enter in!
He casts aside darkness and pain
So, give your heart to Him.
 
‘Our Majesty – we welcome You in!’
 
He passes through, changing all
A world that must to Jesus, yield
Unchanging God, our God of Love -
Transforming us, for He’s the One Who heals
 
 
 
Fear, disappearing now as forgiveness comes
To cleanse and heal, to renew and bless
Giving all into the arms of Love,
We’re on our knees to find we’re free.
The pain must go, for Jesus stands
Heart to heart, to love and mend
 
Holy Spirit,
Breathe Your peace over us, today.
Come! in this place, to heal.
Sweep us along on the tide of life
In a passing world, to a sanctuary, pure
 
Eternal God, may we remain in You?
Keep us safe, and remain in us, we pray.
 
Amen.
