Do you find me hard to understand
How could I leave it all and go
Without a backup plan
And nothing to fall back on
And nothing to fall back on
Nothing to fall back on
But everlasting arms

You may think I’m bold and brave somehow
But it’s just a trembling hand
That I have put to the plow
And nothing to fall back on
And nothing to fall back on
Nothing to fall back on
But everlasting arms

For my love I would go
Brave the wind, driving snow
How much more so

Is it really hard to comprehend
The One who sent His only Son
Is the One who sends
With nothing to fall back on
There's nothing to fall back on
Nothing to fall back on
But everlasting arms

For my child I would go
Gladly give all I own
How much more so

For my friend I would go
And I would not be slow
How much more so
