Circle 'Round the Sun - Matthew E. White

I know that this world’s not my home

It’s never been

I walk the hard road

Tried to take care of my children

And I’m just passing through

But, Lord, we have no friend like you

If heaven’s not my home then what shall I do?

So wrap your arms around me, Jesus

Like the circle 'round the sun

Help the ones who find me here

Understand what I have done

I’m screaming and a-crying

I’m seeking shelter from the storm

Put your arms around me, Jesus, tonight

Hand in hand

But do you know where we’re going?

Hand in hand

I’ll go where you lead me

Wrap your arms around you, Jesus

Move the wind across the sea

In the morning, when the sun is low

I keep your company

But waiting in the water, Lord

Keep my son and daughter

Put your arms around me, Jesus, tonight

It does not frighten me at all

It does not frighten me at all

To go behind the storm

And behind the night

You are there to comfort me

You are there to comfort me

Sleeping in your arms

There’ll be peace tonight
