Take My Hand
Take my hand – don’t let go
Whisper your smile through my thoughts
Echo your joy into my laughter
Reflect your kindness – today and forever after
Take my hope – don’t leave me alone
Abide there inside my soul, coloring me whole
Stirring grace and mercy, peace that is alive
Compassionate just like your light, your insight
The wonder that abides in my life – because You
Are so very alive, the answer to every desire
The whisper of light, the inspiration and calming
The still, small voice who sings to me of love
Take my doubts – don’t let my hope fade out
Silence every fear and wipe away every tear
Remember me and protect me from the despair
The dread – the needless ache from the past
The pressures that worry my mind, disquiet my faith
Give me the feeling that I can’t possibly bare
The darkness that shadows my heart with concerns
Burdens trembling with insecurity and desperation
Take my heart – don’t ever forget I need you
Reassure and encourage, answer every prayer
With the knowing that You will always be there
Thank you, dear Jesus… for Your understanding
Without you to hold my dreams in your hand
I’d never have the courage to reach out with certainty…
Knowing that You will forever be with me, giving me
The grace that I need to believe – without question
In the love that is alive because You forgive and accept me
