Now what, what a fellowship; What, what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness; What, what a peace is mine
Leaning on the everlasting arms!
Chorus:
You know I'm leaning on Jesus, I'm leaning on Jesus
I am safe and secure from all alarms!
Yes, I'm leaning on Jesus, I am leaning on Jesus
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms!
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way
Leaning on the everlastin' arms
O how bright the path, said it grows from day to day
Lean, Leanin' on the everlastin' arms!
(Repeat chorus in background)
You know I'm leaning! Hey, I'm leaning!
Cause I'm safe, and secure from all alarms!
Yeah, I'm leanin', yes I'm leanin
Leanin', ever leanin' on the everlastin' arms!
Oh! Now what, what have I to dread, what have I to fear
Leaning on the everlastin' arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
When I'm leanin' on the everlasting arms
(Repeat Chorus in background)
Hmm, don't you know I'm leanin', ever leanin' on Jesus!
Well, I'm safe, so secure, from all, all alarms!
I am leaning, yeah, leaning!
Leaning on the everlasting arms!
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)
