A Hand To Hold

When fears and sorrows Cause me to weaken, Sometimes falling… He picks me up, carrying me On toward the promised land When I’m so tired and faint I can’t seem to find the strength Or the courage I need To move on toward the victory He lifts my thoughts, my soul So that I know I can make it home When doubts and confusion Drown out the voice of inspiration Leaving me with a feeling of grief In the darkness of exasperation He pours out His tender hope To help me find a way to cope When darkness falls all around And there is no peace to be found I struggle with my despair The paralyzing dread that reminds me I am stuck in this place so black It is then… that He whispers to my heart Wait for me, my child and sing Praises to the Son who will guide you To a place of solace, a second chance The grace that penetrates every shadow When I feel so sad and alone Like I can’t find my way home And the path of love is gone He silences the despair and gloom With a love that abides in my soul When I can’t find my way And all I can do is pray It is enough to say that I’ll be ok If only He’ll be there for me A light that pours out before me Reflecting the wonder and grace That comes from calling out to Him The One who brings hope, faith and love A joy that silences every threat The grace that lifts up my spirit So that I know He is always with me
