Hold On

Oh sinner, come lay in the love of the Father. Oh burdened, He’s ready to bear all your weight. Oh weary, the Father has rest for you now the road may be long but cling to His promises.

Oh lonely, don’t worry just know that He’s near. Oh weeper, He’ll wipe away every tear. Oh faithless, the Father will show Himself strong You’ll win in the end Because it is written

The storm you’re in is temporary you’ll survive and when you’re scared in His shelter you can hide It wont be easy and it might last for a while Hold on. It is okay to feel pain. But just hold on....

Psalms 23 by Shane & Shane

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD I SHALL NOT WANT. IN GREEN PASTURES HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN. HE RESTORES MY SOUL AND LEADS ME ON FOR HIS NAME; FOR HIS GREAT NAME.

SURELY GOODNESS, SURELY MERCY, RIGHT BESIDE ME ALL MY DAYS; AND I WILL DWELL IN YOUR HOUSE FOREVER AND BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME.

YOU PREPARE A TABLE RIGHT BEFORE ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES. THOUGH THE ARROW FLIES AND THE TERROR OF NIGHT IS AT MY DOOR, I'LL TRUST YOU LORD

SURELY GOODNESS, SURELY MERCY, RIGHT BESIDE ME ALL MY DAYS; AND I WILL DWELL IN YOUR HOUSE FOREVER AND BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME

EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL. EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, YOU ARE ON MY SIDE. EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH I WILL FEAR NO EVIL. EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, YOU ARE ON MY SIDE.

SURELY GOODNESS, SURELY MERCY, RIGHT BESIDE ME ALL MY DAYS; AND I WILL DWELL IN YOUR HOUSE FOREVER AND BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME.

I looked and behold, great multitudes from every nation. All from different tongues, tribes, and coloration. We come together on this day my Lord as common sinners that you have restored. Reveal to us what makes us the same as we become more like you, and your name we proclaim. Help us Father celebrate our differences as we overcome hindrances of ignorance to appearances. We remember that we were all fearfully and wonderfully made. Souls of value that our ransoms you have paid. We gather in unity not in the power of man but in the power of the salvation that belongs to our God and the Lamb. Amen.
