Wayne Watson - The Long Arm Of The Lord lyrics

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 'Cause you can never outrun or go beyond the reaches Of the long arm of the Lord And I've been ashamed, I've been humbled and forgiven I've been chastened by my Father's loving hand Oh, 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 'Cause I can never outrun or go beyond the reaches Of the long arm of the Lord If He gave to me all that I deserve This could be my final breath But with compa**ion in His eyes, He's drawing me home Into His arms, into His tender arms of rest Into His arms of rest Oh, yeah 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 pa**ion of the Godless seed they sow But, in truth, we have just as much potential To be Godly and perfected by the Word 'Cause you can never outrun or go beyond the reaches Of the long arm of the Lord Oh, 'cause no one in this world can slip beyond the reaches Of the long arm of the Lord No, no, no one in this world can slip beyond the reaches Of the long arm of the Lord (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Reach out! Reach out for the long arm
