Hold On

This poem and The Broken Vase were words for a special friend. Just sharing as I'm sure they are for lots of people; 

How long must I wait

How long can I stand 

How long do I trust

With my life in your hands

How dark will it get

How dark around me

How dark the shadow

Of sickness that I see

 

How lost can I feel

How lost are my dreams

How lost is my hope

And how ripped at the seams

How real my sorrow

How real the deep pain

How real is the fear

When will life start again...

Hold on my daughter

Hold on to my love

Hold on so tightly

To your father above

Trust in my promise

Trust in deep grace

Trust in my mercies

Look me full in the face

Keep on in worship

Keep on being stirred

Keep on believing

I am true to my word

I have died for you

I have set you apart

I have your future

I need only your heart
