With Hearts Drawn Out

With hearts drawn out fully in prayer
We cry out to Thee for Thy tender care
And pledge ever humbly to always remember
Thy beloved Son, who for us did labor

His selfless sacrifice and obedience
Gives us hope unto our repentance
Ever His ransom, His bitter cup
Like arms of safety, bear us up

May we be found worthy this day
To eat and drink, with light to stay
We've gratitude for all He has done
We want to show... that it's our hearts... He has won!

When we are racked and harrowed much
We long for Him... to feel His touch
Ever present is guilt and grief
Then His compassion restores us unto belief

Thus, through His healing we feel the sweetest peace
As His atoning power helps our sorrows cease
It warms the soul and lifts the load
As love comes down from heaven's abode

Pure arms of love ever encircle
Kind arms of grace satisfy
We feel secure love eternal
His love for us we won't deny

Arms of Safety
Ensign November 2008, 47

Alma 34:
15 And thus he shall bring salvation to all those who shall believe on his name; this being the intent of this last sacrifice, to bring about the bowels of mercy, which overpowereth justice, and bringeth about means unto men that they may have faith unto repentance.
16 And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice, and encircles them in the arms of safety, while he that exercises no faith unto repentance is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice; therefore only unto him that has faith unto repentance is brought about the great and eternal plan of redemption.
17 Therefore may God grant unto you, my brethren, that ye may begin to exercise your faith unto repentance, that ye begin to call upon his holy name, that he would have mercy upon you;
18 Yea, cry unto him for mercy; for he is mighty to save.
19 Yea, humble yourselves, and continue in prayer unto him.
