He will not let go by Laura Story

What lies ahead, I'm not sure I know

But the hand that holds this flailing soul

He will not let go

There may be days, when I cannot breathe

There may be scars, that will stay with me

But the deepest stains they will be washed clean

And He will not let go

When all around my soul gives way

He then is all my hope and stay

When grief has paralyzed my heart

His grip holds even tighter than the dark

I've heard it said: "This too shall pass"

And joy will come, that the hurt won't last

So I will trust that within His grasp

I am not alone

For He will not let go

Thankful for this reminder that He holds on to me on the days I can barely get a hold on myself. 

I just need to remember why I am serving Him, and amidst the swarm of things to do, find joy in the "gardening" of souls. My job isn't always to harvest, in fact most of Christian ministry deals with the long, hard & 'fruitless' work of gardening. Only the last stage is harvesting! But both the gardeners and harvesters rejoice in the salvation of that soul!

Teach me to be faithful in my service to You!
