Hold My Hand

You hold my hand,

Knowing that I’m able to make you stand.

Still holding my hand, you panicked; startled by distractions,

Kicking, scratching, thrashing;

Wondering what’s happening,

Scared that I won’t bring you safely through.

Be still my child and wholly cling.

I know the ending from the beginning.

Only believe that I have a plan.

Always pray because I know the way.

Do not stray but diligently praise.

I am here.

Here, you are safe;

Pace by pace;

Hand in hand

In the end, you will be glad you stayed.

In Jesus’s name, Amen
