Don t Let Go of My Hand

Don’t walk away when sorrow fills my heart, 
Don’t let me slip from your embracing hand. 
When inner storms begin to tear apart, 
Please warm me with your breath, so soft and grand. 

Forgive me when I need your help again, 
When fear and pain and worry cloud my skies. 
Forgive me when I stumble in my strain, 
And fall despite my hopeful, reaching tries. 

Don’t let go of my hand, I plead with you, 
In every trial, every test I face. 
I love you, Lord, with all my soul so true, 
In you I seek my strength, my rightful place. 
Don’t let go of my hand, especially now, 
I love you, Lord, beyond what words can say. 
You are my life, my breath, my solemn vow— 
Please stay with me, I want to walk your way. 

Thank you for always being close, so near, 
For holding tight and never letting go. 
I need no more than knowing you are here, 
And feeling all your love and power flow. 
Alone I cannot bear this heavy weight, 
That presses down with ever-growing might. 
But with you, Lord, I fear no cruel fate— 
You make me strong, you fill me with your light. 

  Don’t leave me! Don’t walk away! Don’t let go!
