IT’S WARM IN MY LOVING FATHER’S ARMS
Hearing the beating of his heart
And walking approved in His love
As we go adventuring
Riding on the waves
Riding on the waves
Riding on the waves
Riding on the waves
That my Father makes….(rpt.)
Knowing my loving Fathers voice
Singing over me with joy
He takes me places I’ve never been
As we go adventuring
Godfrey Birtill
