Being raised in a "religious" church, I didn't understand
what it meant to actually have a relationship with my
Savior Jesus Christ but, I knew that is what I wanted
all of my life. I was 29 when I became a 'born again"
Christian! It has been quite a journey... I only wish
I would have known Him earlier ini my life.
When I Put My Hand In HIS
When I first accepted Jesus, I truly didn’t know
what this relationship was all about,
I didn’t understand about a heart that is fully surrendered to HIM
how to trust and walk with Him but, my heart wanted all of Him and to that there was no doubt.
So a few years later after many, many trials and my crying out to HIM
from my bedroom floor,
I put my hand in HIS and unconditionally surrendered
all my life and oh so much more!
That day I put my hand in His
I knew in my heart that this agreement was going to be forever;
it was not a snap decision or judgment or call
or foolish move but it would be my life time’s endeavor.
You see, He called me from my mother’s womb
to become a child of His,
and I searched and searched for Him at times without success
because it was for Him that I chose to live.
Where else would I go, the Apostle Peter said
for He alone has the Words of life and truth,
and He alone never changes
but remains a solid Rock so really how could I lose?
Has it all been fun and games
no, no many, many trials but my God has brought me through,
painful and yes fearful at times
but He has never left me alone nor, will He ever do!
He and I have a written agreement
and He has signed His signature in His own Blood,
what a God how can I but love Him
for dying and rising for me a mere piece of clay or sod!
It has been an interesting and sometimes lonely walk with my God
with just Him holding on to my hand,
and at times of weakness or doubt I feel that grip gets stronger
till at last His love I know now on it I can depend.
Yes, I say at last I will once again see Him face to face
and in that day He will usher me in,
in through the gates of Beautiful Heaven
where I’ll always yes, always live and be with Him.
