Strong Arms

from Bare and Bones by Candace Coker Music

about

I actually got this song in a dream. I wrote this song in 2021 after being diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder. It was scary for me seeing how medication affected my body and mental health and I dealt with a lot of shame before God about my ability to 'perform' spiritually while I was sick. This song is a conversation with Him about all that. But I hope for the listener, you can weave your own story into it as well and discover what these words mean for your life <3

lyrics

Oooo
Oooo

VERSE 1:
If I let go of me, will You hold me still?
Calm the swelling sea and the storm within what feels like reckoning

VERSE 2:
If I let me rest, will you stay awake?
Calm my very breath with a single phrase "My love, I'll keep you safe"

CHORUS
When I am wanting
When my body is weaker than it's ever been
I'm found in strong arms
When I am daunted
When my years are like violent unravelling
I'm found in strong arms

Oooo
Oooo

VERSE 3
Will You stay a friend if I forget to call?
I’ve got good intent behind all this foggy dampness in my head

CHORUS
When I am wanting
When my body is weaker than it's ever been
I'm found in strong arms
When I am daunted
When my years feel like violent unravelling
I'm found in strong, strong

Oooo
Oooo
