LEANING ON EVERLASTING ARMS
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.
Refrain:
Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain]
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain]

THE GOODNESS OF GOD
I love You, Lord for Your mercy never fails me
All my days I've been held in Your hand
From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
'Cause all my life You have been faithful And all my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your voice, You have led me through the fire
In darkest night You are close like no other
I've known You as a father, I've known You as a friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God
'Cause all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
VAMP
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
With my life laid down, I surrender now, I give You everything
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
I'm gonna sing
And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God
I will sing of the goodness of God.
I will sing of the goodness of God.

The Sky is the limit to what I can have
Just believe and receive it
God will perform it today
Hey, Hey, Hey

God will perform it today
I expect a miracle every day,
God will make a way out of no way.
