Hold me Jesus
by Rich Mullins

Well sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

So hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart

So hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

I'm singing hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

"I don't know if we all have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidentally like on the breeze. I think maybe it's both, that both are happening at the same time...

I miss you, Jenny... if there's anything you need, I won't be far away..." - Forrest Gump

Just watched Forrest Gump again, really refreshing... sometimes life feels like that doesn't it, being blown around on a wind, not knowing what's happening or what's going to happen next. But surely and steadily we are being blown towards our destiny, the beautiful plan that God has for our lives that unwinds every moment, as sure as the sun that He created to rise everyday.

O Lord, please give me the strength to go on...

Complete
The Parachute Band

Here I am O God
I bring this sacrifice
My broken heart
I offer up my life

I look to You Lord
Your love that never ends
Restores me again

So I lift my eyes to You Lord
In Your strength I will break through Lord
Touch me now, let Your love fall down on me
I know Your love dispels all my fears

Through the storm I will hold on Lord
And by faith will I walk on Lord
And I'll see beyond my Calvary some day
And I will be complete in You

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." James 1:2-4

"Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee."
- St. Augustine

"But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you." 1 Peter 5:10
