Tim Hughes's song "Arms" is a worship ballad expressing total surrender and trust in God's love and grace. The lyrics portray a person coming to Jesus empty-handed, acknowledging their need and offering their whole heart. The song emphasizes that God's arms are big enough to hold them, and His grace is strong enough to carry them through pain and weakness. It speaks of being washed clean in God's presence and laying down one's life completely for Him. The repeated refrain underscores the security found in God's embrace, and the closing lines affirm that nothing can separate the believer from the love of Jesus.

Empty handed here I come
I've nothing left to give You
Take my heart and all I am
Who else Lord can I run to?
Every part of me You see
I'm an open book before You
Jesus take me as I am
I can come no other way
Your arms are big enough for me
Your arms are big enough for me
Years of pain are washed away
In the beauty of Your presence
In this moment, everyday
Perfect love will carry me
Your arms are big enough for me, Jesus
Your arms are big enough for me
Your grace is strong enough for me
Yes, Your grace is strong enough for me
I lay my life down here
I give it all to You
It's all for You
Nothing can keep me from Your love
Oh the love of Jesus
I lay my life down here
I give it all to You
It's all for You
Nothing can keep me from Your love
Oh the love of Jesus
Your arms are big enough for me
Your arms are big enough for me
