Verse 1:

Let my yes be yes 

To you oh Lord 

Let my no be no 

To Things of this world 

If I rise or fall 

If I stand at all 

I am leaning on Your everlasting arm


Chorus:

What a fellowship 

What a joy Devine 

What a priceless gift

God I'm yours

And You are mine 

Let my restless soul 

Be still and know 

I am leaning on Your everlasting arms 


Verse 2:

From the morning sun 

And mercy new 

To the evening stars 

Every promise is true 

As I walk this world 

I'm help by You 

I am leaning on Your everlasting arms 


Chorus:

What a fellowship 

What a joy Devine 

What a priceless gift

God I'm yours

And You are mine 

Let my restless soul 

Be still and know 

I am leaning on your everlasting arms 


Bridge:

The more I'm leaning 

The more I'm flying 

Feels less like dying 

More like living 

For Heaven on Earth 

The more I'm leaning 

The more I'm flying 

Feels less like dying 

More like living 

For Heaven on Earth 

The more I'm leaning 

The more I'm flying 

Feels less like dying 

More like living 

For Heaven on Earth 

For Heaven on Earth 


Chorus:

What a fellowship 

What a joy Devine 

What a priceless gift

God I'm yours

And You are mine 

Let my restless soul 

Be still and know 

I am leaning on Your everlasting arms 

I am leaning on Your everlasting arms
