BROTHERS IN ARMS
United Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A reckless love too wild to understand
Breathing the world to life in Your romance
So here I am
Your love has got me up in arms again
And this hope won't let me go

My joy is boundless
My soul knows its worth
In arms stretching wider
Than my heart could ever fall

You own the skies and still You want my heart
Casting Your throne aside to lift me up
So here I am
Your love has got me up in arms again
And this hope won't let me go

My joy is boundless
My soul knows its worth
In arms stretching wider
Than my heart could ever fall

Your word is final
Your name above all
The cross my reminder
Your love is forever
Cause here I am
Your love has got me up in arms again
And this hope won't let me go

My joy is boundless
My soul knows its worth
In arms stretching wider
Than my heart could ever fall

Your word is final
Your name above all
The cross my reminder
Your love is forever
Cause here I am
Your love has got me up in arms again
And this hope won't let me go
Here I am




Jesus take my life and all I have
Now this hope won't let me go

So who’s your favorite marine (or favorite marine moment/quote) from Halo? To avoid cop-outs, it can’t be Johnson. I gotta go with good old Chips! :P

Here’s the SoundCloud link for this mix: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/rHXg88fi2bvqtpmM6

The artwork is a concept for Marines in Halo Wars 2 (by Kunrong Yap): https://www.artstation.com/artwork/y3oQO

@DIVITY The outro music is for Halo: Online’s main menu (back when it was in alpha/beta). To my knowledge, it’s titled “Anvil” and was composed by Tom Salta. Here’s the full version: https://youtu.be/2HVQzAAUhkQ

I loved every moment I was playing the Halo series and being side by side with every marine and ODST, but the one that I pay the most respect to is and always will be Private First Class Wallace A. Jenkins.
