With heartfelt performances by Reggie & Ladye Love Smith and Amy Rouse, this hymn resonates deeply with anyone seeking solace and connection in their faith! “When God Seems So Near” explores the profound moments when faith feels tangible. It reflects on those instances when life’s burdens seem lighter because we can sense God’s presence. The lyrics paint a picture of comfort and assurance that many of us crave during challenging times. Whether it’s through a quiet moment of prayer or an uplifting gathering with fellow believers, this hymn reminds us that we are never alone.

Bill and Gloria Gaither have long been known for their ability to craft songs that touch the heart. Their knack for combining poetic lyrics with soul-stirring melodies shines through in this piece.

When God Seems So Near

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.

There are times when I cannot feel His presence
When the clouds of doubt obscure the Master’s smile
But when I’m still enough to hear his gentle whisper
Then I know my Lord has been there all the while

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
These are the times when God seems so near.

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms Lyrics

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 alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms

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

Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms

This beautiful song was written by Dottie Rambo. According to a St. Augustine newspaper article about the song, Dottie had just gone through a difficult time with a friend who had disappointed her. She decided to walk along the beach to clear her mind. “All of a sudden I thought, ‘Lord, this storm is so much like my life, and yet, in the midst of the storms of life, you have been a shelter to me. When I can’t take the storm, I run to you for that shelter and, suddenly, I feel secure.’” While pondering these thoughts she began to write Sheltered in the Arms of God.

Sheltered in the Arms of God Lyrics

Song by Dottie Rambo

For I’m sheltered in the arms of God

I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender
They’re leading me in paths that I must trod
I’ll have no fear ’cause Jesus walks beside me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God

So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They won’t worry me
For I’m sheltered safe within the arms of God
He walks with me
And naught of earth shall harm me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God

Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven’s portals
“Come home, My child, it’s the last mile you have trod.”
I’ll just fall asleep and wake up in God’s new heaven
Forever sheltered in the arms of God

So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They won’t worry me
For I’m sheltered safe within the arms of God

He walks with me
And naught of earth shall harm me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God
So let the cold winds blow
It’s so good to know
That I’m sheltered in the arms of God
Darling we have both been sheltered in the arms of God
The arms of God

Heaven’s Joy Awaits Lyrics

When we leave this low land
We will cross the Jordan
Pass this chilling torrent
Heaven’s joy awaits

Heaven is just beyond the blue horizon
Just above the starry sky, starry blue sky (starry blue sky)
Far above this land of sorrow (land of sorrow)
Way above each tear and sigh, every sigh

Just a few more miles before us
Just a little while to wait, patiently wait
Soon, we’ll sing redemptions chorus
Heaven’s joy awaits, heaven awaits (up there where heaven’s joy awaits)

Heaven’s breeze is blowing (ooh)
Gently to recalling (calling)
I will soon be going (going)
Through the Pearly Gates

Heaven is just beyond the blue horizon
Just above the starry sky, starry blue sky
Far above this land of sorrow
Way above each tear and sigh, every sigh

Just a few more miles before us
Just a little time to wait, patiently wait
Soon, we’ll sing redemptions chorus
Heaven’s joy awaits, heaven awaits (up there where heaven’s joy awaits)
