ARMS AROUND THE SUN - LYRIC VIDEO - MICHAEL W SMITH

Tribute to Michael W. Smith – “Arms Around the Sun”

Few artists can take the infinite and make it intimate. But Michael W. Smith, once again, proves that worship isn't just about reaching God — it's about being reached by Him. In “Arms Around the Sun”, Smith crafts a lyrical masterpiece that feels less like a song and more like a sacred conversation between the soul and the divine.

From the opening line, the song pulses with awe. It's not about answers — it's about wonder. It captures the tension of the human spirit trying to comprehend a God too vast to contain, yet too close to ignore. “Trying to wrap my arms around the sun” becomes a metaphor not for failure, but for reverence. For the beauty of striving to understand the One who can never fully be understood — and being changed in the process.

Smith’s vocals are rich with humility. The instrumentation is cinematic yet restrained, giving the lyrics room to breathe. Every word, every note, invites the listener not to figure God out, but to fall deeper into mystery — the kind that quiets questions with presence.

This song is worship for the thinkers. A love letter for the wrestlers. A place of rest for those still trying to reconcile an all-powerful God who’s also personal enough to whisper in silence, part seas, and dwell within our hearts.

Michael W. Smith has long been a pillar in worship music. But with “Arms Around the Sun”, he’s given us a timeless anthem — one that reminds us we don’t need to grasp the full glory of God to be held by it.

So we reach. We wonder. We worship. And we’re wrapped in something bigger than understanding — we’re wrapped in Him.
