Safe In the Hands of Jesus - John 10: 28

In this world, there's so many insecurities
so often we've filled with every fear
our hearts tremble so often with thoughts
we're riddled within causing many a tear

But being a true believer in Christ
I have a secure promise to never fail
because Jesus gave me His word
it's sure to stand through wind and gale

Jesus said I give you eternal life
never to perish not even one
no one will be able to snatch you
from the hand of God's blessed son

In my early believing days in mid-80s
doubts crept in, was this really true?
but God brought this verse to my heart
He had chosen me, doesn't matter how I feel

For no matter what my feelings are
God's done it, eternally be, so it's complete
safe in the hands of Jesus never to perish
now eternally safe among God's elite

(" I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.")  John 10: 28 (ESV)

I learned a long time ago to not base my faith in Jesus on whether I "felt" close to him or not. There are many times when I just don't "feel" it. But I know he is always there holding my hand or carrying me through the storm.
