What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!
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.
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!

I believe leaning on the Lord is trusting Him. I think we need to see this. We need to lean on Him not on things of the world or our own strengh. With out Him we shall fall. When we lean on Him HE IS NEAR. What have we to fear? Jesus Christ is near!

This is one of my beloved hymns. I learned it a long time ago and it has remained etched in my spirit since then. The Holy Soirit brings it back often and in time if need. Yesterday I heard something that was alarming and could have brought fear to my heart. Instead, turned to the Lord in prayer releasing the fears. This morning I woke up with this hymn in my spirit and began to sing it. I remembered all the words. Praise the Lord. I knew the Lord was assuring me through this hymn that I was safe and secure from all alarms. For I was indeed leaning on his arms. The Lord is near🙏 Dear brothers and sisters, it’s so sweet to walk in this pilgrim’s way leaning on the everlasting arms of our blessed God and Lord Jesus Christ!!

As I was talking to my Heavenly Father today this song came to me. As I sing it a smile came to my face knowing that I can lean on God. I kept leaning my head as I sing, knowing that His arms are there for me to lean on, it was so reassuring. What a comfort and blessedness to know we can lean on Jesus.

The Holy Spirit brought this hymn to me while in my fellowship and prayer time this morning with Him.
Psalm 37:7 AMP says
Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him.
“Lean yourself upon Him” My first thought was the disciple whom He loved, John, leaning upon Jesus’ breast while at the Last Passover Meal. Wow! To be able to have that experience to be that close to my Beloved Lord and
Savior!
Oh how I thank Him for taking the way of the cross so I too can lean upon His loving heart!
Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus, leaning on His everlasting arms!

Yesterday Morning: Birgitta my Wife of 50 years and I bickered for hours over a differance of opinion, finally she gave up and left me alone. I cried and sang "Leaning On The Ever Lasting Arms" over and over again. I called The Pharmacy and told the young Lady in the answering service about our bickering and we both laughed Heartfelt Joyfully about the whole incident. Today I’ve learned to play the song on my guitar as well. Thanks to My Lord Jesus Christ And Our Heavenly Father, The God Of All Creation. I feel only Thankfulness And Peace And Joy. Life is A Miracle. Ive never had an human Father. But ive allways have had one in Heaven.

This hymn is such a moving and inspirational one. One can imagine our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ just being our support for all the trials and tribulations that we face.
The inner peace from this songs takes me away to a calm and soothing place of serenity

This song helped me through my husband’s hospitalization with Covid. I would picture Jesus walking through each new day with me, even when I didn’t want to face it. He never left me, and I leaned on him the whole time. My husband made a full recovery and we are so thankful.

The many things and hardships I have gone through left me in a "BAD SITUATION" Until GOD worked on my Heart ♥ and I Repented and Accepted JESUS CHRIST as my SAVIOR and LORD. I have taken this Song as Deep Inspiration to always "LEAN ON JESUS, AMEN!"

I will be released from a care facility in two days after an eight month stay. I would not have made it through the ordeal without the everlasting arms of Jesus around me.
