Outstretched Arms
08/07/2015
George Poulo



I died with outstretched arms
Willing to suffer and die
My love so strong
My heart so willing
My determination so great
That I died with outstretched arms
Nothing withheld
Nothing folded up
Nothing hidden
A total and complete sacrifice
A Lamb without spot or blemish
Pouring out every drop of blood
As an perfect offering
For you
 
And now I wait
And now I pray
And now I long
With outstretched arms
To hold you
Close to my heart
 
All who are weak and are heavily laden
All who are tired and find life a burden
Look to me
Gaze on the one
Whose arms are still outstretched
Whose love is still as strong
Whose hope is still as certain
As when I died for you
 
I long to embrace
I long to hold
I long to love
And heal and forgive
Believe in me
Call out to me
And I will shepherd you
With outstretched arms
And I will be your God
And you will be my people
Amen
