YOU NEVER 
  LET GO OF MY HAND

So many thoughts to be thought of,
So many words to be said,
So many songs to be written,
All going 'round in my head.

So many feelings to deal with,
Feelings I don't understand;
Yet in the midst of confusion
You never let go of my hand.

Time after time I have failed You;
It seems I forget that You're there;
I try to accomplish things my way,
But end up with trouble to spare.

You promised You'd never forsake me;
Lord, by Your Word I will stand;
Though I forget what You've promised,
You never let go of my hand.

Sometimes my trials and burdens
Block out Your face like a mask,
Yet You are patiently waiting
To help me if I'd only ask.

Trying to figure it all out,
I forget that all this was planned;
Lord Jesus, please help me remember
You never let go of my hand.
