Take His Hand

Linda M Hill gives us this poem she wrote:

"When the way is dark and lonely 

When you've walked your last mile 

When the shadows gather around you 

And you've forgotten how to smile 

When the world turns against you 

And your heart is solid stone 

You look up with tearfilled eyes 

But everyone is gone 

When your path is long and weary 

And you think no one will understand.. 

...Take His hand 

When you're at your weakest moment 

And there's no sun in your sky 

And your wishing in your heart 

That the Lord would let you die 

When your pain gets unbearable 

That you ache deep in your soul 

And no matter which way you search 

The world seems hard and cold 

When you scream out in despair 

Sinking deeper in shifting sand 

...Take His hand 

When you can't go another step 

And you can't cope alone 

When you look back on your life 

At sins you can't condone 

When all your friends have left you 

And you have no family 

And peace in a bottle of pills 

Is the only thing you see 

When you are weary, too sick to stand 

...Take His hand"

Let's pray:    Father, may we turn to You, and take firm hold of Your Hand, knowing full well that You do understand. Guide our steps so we can cope with whatever life brings to us.





Jer. 17:7, 8  "Blessed is the man [or woman] who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit."
