Hand Held

Categories: Promises

Jesus whispers
Can you hear?
My children
You are very dear
To me
I have you safe
Securely held
In my hands.

An indelible print
On my palm
Must comfort
Reassure you
Calm
And give you proof
Of my love
For you.

But more than this
No one can touch
Or snatch you out
So be confident
Do not doubt
When the storms rage
The winds blast
I have you tight
I’ll hold you fast.

No one
Anywhere
Can dislodge you
From my hands
Engraved with love
When I died
For you.
You have the promise
From my Father God
Who is greater
Mightier
Than anyone else
And I and my Father
Are one.

Isaiah 49:16
John 10:28
