Rate The Long Arm Of The Lord
Artist : Watson wayne Song : The long arm of the lord Wayne Watson Psalm
139:7-12/Isaiah 50:2 A million dark alleys you
can hide in Dig a tunnel to the center of the
earth Convinced you've got nobody to confide in
Got you questioning the sum of what you're worth
People label you the black sheep of the family
Come collect upon your prodigal reward Chorus
'Cause you can never outrun Or go beyond the
reaches Of the long arm of the Lord I've been
ashamed--I've been humbled and forgiven I've been
chastened by my Father's loving hand But still,
at times, I go on with my evil It seems to
constitute the nature of a man But forgiveness is
as close as my confession And my sin amputated by
His sword Chorus If He gave to me all that I
deserve This could be my final breath But with
compassion in His eyes He's drawing me home Into
His arms--Into His tender arms of rest There are
pagans at the corners of creation Making light of
the salvation that we know And with a small,
narrow mind I give them over To the passion of
the Godless seed they sow But, in truth, we have
just as much potential To be Godly and perfected
by the Word Repeat Chorus My capacity for
creative sin is never extended part God's
capacity for restoration.
