Looking for a song/video/lyrics...Country? Christian?
A few months ago when I was in church we watched a video as part of the lesson. It was about a little boy and his Dad leaves and he is really upset. I think it is something about his father's arms. And then he realizes he was always in his Father's arms, obviously meaning Jesus/God. Has anyone seen or heard this? I cannot find the video or even the name of the song. Would appreciate any help!

Any of these fit the bill?
As a Child Bob Clayton "Hug me! Hug me!" the little girl cried, As she tugged at her mother's skirt, Arms reaching up for her mother's attention, Crying and pleading and hurt. So the mother turned away from her grown-up conversation To lift the child up in her arms, To wipe away the tears and give her her love, Giving her a love so warm. Chorus: You've got to tug at God's skirt like your mother's, Hold to God's hand like your Dad. Trust in God's love as a little child, For the wholeness that we've never had -- The wholeness and peace that we've never had. "I don't want to go to bed!" the little boy said, As he struck out and kicked at his dad. "You know that you have to -- it's way past your bed-time, Don't make your daddy mad!" So father held son till all the rage had left him, And the hot tears stopped running so free; Then the boy fell asleep in his father's arms, Trusting the love he could see. Chorus: The older we grow, the more we think we know, As years are piled onto years. We've forgotten to trust like a child in our hearts, Replacing all that love with our fears. And when we make mistakes or get into trouble, We tremble at the debt that we owe, And forget to tug at our loving mother's skirt, Or take the hand of the father we know. Chorus: Downtown Sarah Masen when i'm standing close to the clouds at fear and doubt i reach out my hand to the love that pulls me out i hop in my car that takes me down the road that leads me straight into my Father's arms when i'm flying deep into the clouds of fear and doubt i speak loud Your name in the midst of my defeat i run to my car and travel down the road that leads me straight into my Father's arms i go driving downtown sitting close to fate i go driving downtown where i find Your grace i go driving downtown when i'm falling back through a past of fear and doubt i reach hard for truth underneath this inbetween i look for Your lead and follow down the road that leads me closer to my Father's arms when i'm flying close into the clouds of fear and doubt i reach hard far truth in the midst of my defeat i run to my car that takes me down the road of grace and freedom in my Father's arms in the middle of our human condition is the emerald city of our saving provision and we wrestle and struggle till we can hardly stand and we drive downtown into that praying land but what we want most is home what we want most is home If I Fall Lyrics Alice Martineau Memories of a little girl In my perfect world Won't cry No need to know the reasons why My faith is so easy In my carefree world I'd jump into my father's arms Trusting that I'd be unharmed If I cry If I fall Into your arms tonight Will you be there And say that you care If I try If I call Call out your name tonight Will you be there (will you be there) Will you say that you care (say that you care) My eyes so full of light So keen to do it right Impatient to be grown Not yet frightened of being alone If I cry If I fall Into your arms tonight Will you be there And say that you care Wrapped in my daydreams (wrapped in my daydreams) Searching my history for reason I'm all alone I've never felt so alone Alone If I cry If I fall Into your arms tonight Will you be there And say that you care If I try If I call Call out your name tonight Will you be there (will you be there) Will you say that you care (say that you care) I've never felt so alone Alone My eyes so full of light So keen to do it right (Ahhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhh) Natalie Grant Finally Home I am here alone, in the falling snow, And the wind, it cools my tears. I have been so wrong, I have turned away, but the road was long, And finally I have come to my knees, I want to be… Where I can walk, Where I can run, Where my heart sings, And I feel the sun, Where I can trust, And I'm strong enough, Free like the wind, I'll run into my Father's arms, I'm finally home! Oh the winds of change, They blow slow and cool! Oh the wandering of a fool, But I have laid it down, In my Father's hands, Where the weight of suffering, Is carried by the arms of a cross, Healing my loss… Where I can walk, Where I can run, Where my heart sings, And I feel the sun, Where I can trust, And I'm strong enough, Free like the wind, I'll run into my Father's arms Heaven has reached into my lonely soul. Loving so deep, and so complete, 'Til I don't feel alone. Where the light of love is burning, Where the past is washed away, Where I feel the sunlight shining on my face! Now I can Walk! Now I can run, Now my heart sings, And I feel the sun, Now I can trust, And I'm strong enough, Free like the wind, I'll run into my Father's arms, I'm finally home! Now I can trust, And I'm strong enough, Free like the wind I run, Into my Father's arms I'm finally home
