Lyrics - The Long Arm Of The Lord by Watson Wayne

Wayne
Watson
Psalm 139:7-12/
Isaiah 50:2
A million dark alleys you can hide in
Dig a tunnel to the center of the earth
Convinced you've got nobody to confide in
Got you questioning the sum of what you're worth
People label you the black sheep of the family
Come collect upon your prodigal reward
Chorus'
Cause you can never outrun
Or go beyond the reaches
Of the long arm of the
Lord
I've been ashamed--
I've been humbled and forgiven
I've been chastened by my
Father's loving hand
But still, at times,
I go on with my evil
It seems to constitute the nature of a man
But forgiveness is as close as my confession
And my sin amputated by
His sword
Chorus
If
He gave to me all that
I deserve
This could be my final breath
But with compassion in
His eyes
He's drawing me home
Into
His arms--
Into
His tender arms of rest
There are pagans at the corners of creation
Making light of the salvation that we know
And with a small, narrow mind
I give them over
To the passion of the
Godless seed they sow
But, in truth, we have just as much potential
To be
Godly and perfected by the
Word
Repeat
Chorus
My capacity for creative sin is never extended part
God'scapacity for restoration.
