In your Arms

Verse 1


When I was a little girl

I dreamt of being in love

With a man so strong, so true

Who depended on the Lord

When I look at you I see that man

All my dreams come true

I can’t wait to start my life with you

I can’t wait to say “I do”

In your arms is where I want to be

And when I stare into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

And when you’re looking back at me

With those eyes so full of love

You make me feel so safe, so secure, so in love

In your arms is where I want to be


Verse 2


Now we’re standing here face to face

Ready to say “I do”

I’m ready to depend on you

To be loving, strong and true

When you look at me

Do you see

A girl so in love

The girl you’ve always dreamt about

Here without a doubt

In your arms is where I want to be

And when I stare into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

And when you’re looking back at me

With those eyes so full of love

You make me feel so safe, so secure, so in love

In your arms is where I want to be


Verse 3

So today we stand before the Lord

taking our vows

We promise to be faithful

in all we say and do

We ask the Lord to keep us safe

in this journey we are on

There may be trials, pain and heartache but

he will keep us strong

In his arms is where we want to be

and when He's we're following Him

we know everything will be alright

When he watches over us with his never ending grace

He gives us safety and security He gives his love

In his arms is where we want to be.

Yes, in Gods arms is where we want to be.

Thanks for letting me hear your songs Christy! You are definitely a talented singer/songwriter, and I think Brian will be delighted to receive such a special gift from you. The first song is my favorite, and I think it fits your voice well. The second has really neat lyrics, and I think you could do some really interesting things with an accompaniment (piano or guitar?) Have you thought of recording whichever song you don't sing in the wedding and use it as the background music for a slideshow or something like that?
