Joni B

The very idea.

Hold Me, Jesus

January17

I’ve been battling some very old ghost this past month. Things I don’t want to speak of or even think about. Two songs have been ever on my lips. One by Steven Curtis Chapman: “As I look back on this road I’ve traveled, I see so many times He’s carried me through and if there’s one thing that I’ve learned in my life, my Redeemer is Faithful and True. My Reedemer is faithful and true. Everything He has said, He will do. And every morning His mercies are new. My Redemmer is faithful and true.” The second song is by Rich Mullins. “Sometimes my life just don’t make sense at all. 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 peer in the dark. Its 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 take what You give that I need. And I beat my head against so many walls and I’m falling down – I’m falling on my knees. And the Salvation Army Band is playing this hymn and Your grace rings out deep it makes my resistance so thin. 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?”
