How Can I Fall?

Representative Text

1 God’s arms are underneath me,
How can I fall?
I’ll trust in Him completely,
He is my all.

Refrain:
God’s arms are underneath me,
How can I fall?
In rest He sweetly keeps me,
He is my all.

2 God’s arms are underneath me,
How can I fall?
His grace is everlasting,
In Him is all. [Refrain]

3 God’s arms can never weaken,
How can I fall?
In Him is sure protection,
Trust Him for all. [Refrain]

4 God’s arms support me ever,
How can I fall?
His promise faileth never,
Trust Him for all. [Refrain]
