Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain]

Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain] Topics: Assurance; Discipleship; Fellowship with God; Jesus Christ Savior; Joy; Peace; Christian Pilgrimage; Security; Trust Scripture: Psalm 71:6 Used With Tune: SHOWALTER
