George Jones sings the classic hymn 'Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,' a song about finding peace, security, and joy by trusting in God's constant care. The lyrics emphasize resting in God's strength rather than one's own, with a refrain that repeats the comfort of being safe from all alarms. The song speaks to the believer's journey through life, walking in faith without fear, and experiencing blessed peace because of God's nearness. It is a simple yet profound expression of reliance on God's everlasting arms.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;

What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.


Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.


Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;

Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.


Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.


What have I to dread, what have I to fear,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;

I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.


Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms
