Sheltered in the Arms of God What’s even better than being under God’s loving protection? This song is a great reminder that God walks with us every step of the way, even when the storm rages high. Sing by a group of Bill Gaithers group (Oak Ridge, Larry Gatlin etc.) The winds howled as Dottie Rambo walked along a Florida beach among the scattered pieces of driftwood. A small fire, built by her husband, Buck, flickered nearby. He was there, sitting a short distance away, as her protector. However, he wanted her to be alone with her thoughts. Dottie wanted to ponder the thoughts that were troubling her soul. An unfaithful friend had caused disappointment. Out of such troubled times, a song usually appeared. One was there, stirring in the heart of this lady who had been writing songs since she was 9 years old. “There had been a very bad storm the day before,” Dottie said, “and driftwood was scattered along the beach. I was going through a time that was a low valley for me. It was sort of a ‘storm’ in my own life. As the whitecaps broke across the water, and as I walked among the driftwood and the seaweed with my guitar strapped over my shoulder, I pondered the lyrics of several songs that the Lord seemed to be giving to me at the time.”
