HOLDING YOU CLOSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Copyright \u00a9 2018 by Tresca S. Grannum<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Surrenderella will return in our next week’s blog, Lord’s willing. This week, the Lord wanted to encourage some of us who may be walking through some dark paths.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This song was given to me to share with a sister who lives in constant pain with an ongoing illness. But today, I want to share it with all of my brothers and sisters who have chronic pain, mental anguish, or a trial that appears to have no end in sight. May these words from our Lord encourage you this week.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Days are not always dark
\nthough they appear to be so.
\nWeeping and sadness don\u2019t always linger on
\nEven though they may appear to be so.
\nBut close your eyes and open your heart
\nTo my whisper in the silence
\nIn the depths of your soul, you will find Me,
\nWaiting to hold you close.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Holding you close is what I live for
\nIt\u2019s what I long for
\nHolding you close is what my whole heart dreams about
\nHolding you near drying each tear
\nIs all I ever wanted to do
\nIs all I ever wanted to do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pain and sorrow seem to swallow you up
\nYes, it appears to be so
\nSleepless nights seem to take their toll
\nTrying to tear your world apart
\nI know it appears to be so.
\nBut just close your eyes and open your heart
\nTo my whisper in the silence
\nIn the depths of your soul, you will find Me
\nWaiting to hold you close.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Weeping may last for this moment
\nOnly for this moment
\nBut I promise\u00a0joy comes in the morning
\nWhen you least expect and it\u2019s not in your when
\nNever in your how, but in My moment
\nAnd in My hour, when You see Me as Your Morning Light
\nYour only sight, the Only One who heals your pain and conquers the night.<\/p>\n
