Lyrics

Just lean up­on the arms of Je­sus,
He’ll help you along, help you along,
If you will trust His love un­fail­ing,
He’ll fill your heart with song.

Refrain

Lean on His arms, trust­ing in His love;
Lean on His arms, all His mer­cies prove;
Lean on His arms, look­ing home above,
Just lean on the Sav­ior’s arms!

Just lean up­on the arms of Je­sus.
He’ll bright­en the way, bright­en the way,
Just follow glad­ly where He lead­eth,
His gen­tle voice ob­ey.

Refrain

Just lean up­on the arms of Je­sus,
O bring ev’ry care, bring ev’ry care!
The bur­den that has seemed so hea­vy,
Take to the Lord in pray­er.

Refrain

Just lean up­on the arms of Je­sus,
Then leave all to Him, leave all to Him;
His heart is full of love and mer­cy,
His eyes are ne­ver dim.
