‘Flying Free’ Sample 4: Holding On

Holding On

I hope you understand
You’re safe within My hand.
Facing the unknown, you’re not alone,
You just keep holding on to Me.

And when the storm is wild
Hold onto Me, My child.
Though torrents rage, don’t be afraid,
You just keep holding on to Me.

~ ~ ~

And when the world would harm,
Run to your Father’s arms!
I’m always here for you, My dear,
You just keep holding on to Me.

I’ll wipe away your tears,
My love will calm your fears.
Life may be unkind, but still you are Mine,
You just keep holding on to Me.

~ ~ ~

I’m with you,
I love you,
My precious child.

Don’t fear now,
Just reach out
Your hand for Mine.

~ ~ ~

I’ll bless you.
I’ll guide you.
I’ll help you grow.

I’ll shield you,
Stand by you.
I won’t let go!

~ ~ ~

Come close now,
My dear one,
Receive My calm.

Be still now -
Just trust Me.
Rest in My arms.

~ ~ ~

I hope you understand
You’re safe within My hand.
Facing the unknown, you’re not alone,
You just keep holding on to Me.

And I’ll wipe away your tears,
And My love will calm your fears;
I’ll bring you home, My dearest one,
You just keep holding on to Me.
