Holding on

You've been lost in the wind
And the rain of a storm at sea
The waves crashing over your back
And you're crying out for Me

But as the ocean rages
I am sleeping in the boat
But I have a plan, I'm holding your hand
And I'm keeping you afloat

I'm never gonna let go
My love for you is always true
I'm never gonna lose heart
'Cause I'm holding on tight to you
Should the cruel wind chill your soul
When the world seems out of control
I'm never gonna let go of you

The day's old, this desert is cold
And a dark cloud covers the truth
Fix your eyes on the horizon
The light is breaking through

You are My beloved child
Forever in My heart
After the fall and after it all
You're safe within My arms

Whenever you feel that you're lost in doubt
I am the way
I am the vine, you're the fruit
I am the truth and the life and the light of day

-- "Never Gonna Let Go" by Caedmon's Call (Sample here)

This is just one of those songs that passed me by. While part of me wonders how I ever let it slip, there is a greater part of me that is in awe of God's timing, and the friends that He has blessed me with. These couple of weeks have been tough, and I've almost gone into panic mode more times that I dare to count. And even as I feel that I am clinging on, hanging on by a thread, to this God that I claim to trust, I realise that the truth is really that He is holding on to me, never letting me go. Always have, always will.
