Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

Another year
All begining anew
What a fellowship in this pilgrims way

Leaning on the everlasting arms 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Great it is nice

I love this Hymn! This piece is from the history:

The African American tradition of syncopation, handclapping, and heavy use of percussive instruments enlivens this hymn and gives hymn lovers the freedom to embellish and improvise in worship. For a solo rendition by Mahalia Jackson (1911-1972).

It was also a part of several movies and television programs.

It’s great to have the tunes, my memories of the songs sound better with the tunes. The old hymns have stayed in my heart and mind. This makes it so much better to sing them.

This is an answer to my prayer 🙏

PRAISE The LORD JESUS ✝️🤍✨🕊️🙏🙂.

Anthony Showalter studied music in England, France, and Germany. He also taught music, and published over 130 music books. One day, the postman delivered letters from two of his former students. Each letter brought the tragic news that the men’s wives had died, both on the same day. Showalter responded to each one giving encouragement and comfort as he was able. He included Deuteronomy 33:27–“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. ”

Mr. Showalter, recounted later, “Before completing the writing of a sentence, the thought came to me the fact that we may lean on those everlasting arms and find comfort and strength to be put into a song. ” Just as he was finishing the letters, the words and music of the refrain were written. He then sent his newly composed music to his friend, the writer, Elisha Hoffman, who then came up with three stanzas to match. Out of the comforting letters sent to his former widowed students the hymn, “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, ” was born.

Yes without Jesus Christ we are absolutely nothing. What a Friend O such a friend am glad he loves me and has given me the freedom to choose and I choose Him to serve Him to the end. And my motto is Death Before Dishonor my Jesus Christ gave all for me so though not worthy I desire to live for Him.

This came to me after singing “leaning on the everlasting arms.

1 What a fellowship,
what a joy sublime*,
drinking of His very life divine,
How can we resist such a fellowship?
where our oneness can be clearly seen?
Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus the one we hold so dear,
Jesus, Jesus,
When we call we see how real you are!
2 What have we to fear?
Jesus Christ so near,
we shall ever dwell in His great love.
Oh how glorious what a peace of mind
when we trust in His life giving word.
Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus the one we hold so dear,
Jesus, Jesus,
When we call we see How real you are!

3 Even in despair,
We can pray to Him,
Cast our burdens on His shoulders
Now!
Angst will disappear,
Filled with peace within,
Such a joy to trust in Him today!
Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus the one we hold so near,
Jesus, Jesus,
When we call, we see How near you are!

Leaning on the Everlasting arms indeed. Amen Amen
