Lyrics
- Verse:
- I was driving down the valley with my radio on,
- trying hard
to change my dismal state of mind
- But the music couldn't cover all my shattered dreams,
- or the
empty, empty feelin' deep inside
- I was tempted to abandon any hope that I had,
- when I reached
to turn my radio down
- Just enough to hear the music from a country church,
- that
was sittin' on the edge of town
- They were singing
-
- Chorus:
- 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
-
- (key change)
- Verse:
- Now from the moment that I stepped inside that little
country church,
- I felt a warmth I'd never felt before
- And the glow of smiling faces I could not understand,
- but it
started something knocking at my door
- Now, the parson wasn't talkin' 'bout religion that day,
- and
the sermon hit my conscience like a knife
- It was a heart to heart experience with God Himself,
- that
would change the whole complexion of my life
- They were singing
-
- Chorus:
- Power, power, wonder-working power, in the blood of the Lamb
- They were singing, power, power, wonder-working power in the
precious blood of the Lamb
-
- Verse:
- Now I'm driving up the valley feeling lighter than air,
- I
can hardly keep 'er under 55
- 'Cause I got a taste of Heaven in that country church,
- where
the folks were really coming alive
- Well it happened in that meeting on the edge of town,
- and it
really, really blew my mind
- 'Cause it changed the whole complexion of my broken dreams,
-
it's the closest thing to Heaven I can find
- I'm singing
-
- Chorus:
- 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, leaning, safe and secure from all alarm
- Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms
-

- The everlasting arms
