Safe in the Arms of Jesus!


Three weeks ago today I posted a prayer request
for a 3-year old who was diagnosed with cancer.

Two weeks after posting, on Friday September 19, 2008,
Cole went to be with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Safe in the Arms of Jesus

Fannie Jane Crosby

Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o’ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest.
Hark! ’tis the voice of angels, borne in a song to me.
Over the fields of glory, over the jasper sea.

Refrain

Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast
There by His love o’ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest.

Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe from corroding care,
Safe from the world’s temptations, sin cannot harm me there.
Free from the blight of sorrow, free from my doubts and fears;
Only a few more trials, only a few more tears!

Refrain

Jesus, my heart’s dear Refuge, Jesus has died for me;
Firm on the Rock of Ages, ever my trust shall be.
Here let me wait with patience, wait till the night is over;
Wait till I see the morning break on the golden shore.

Refrain

Oh, that is so sad. I will be praying for his family, that the Lord will comfort them with the knowledge that he is indeed 'safe in the arms of Jesus'.

In Christ,
Anna
