Love that will not let me go

"O Love that will not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in thee;

I give thee back the life I owe,

That in thine ocean depths its flow

May richer, fuller be.

O light that followest all my way,

I yield my flickering torch to thee;

My heart restores its borrowed ray,

That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day

May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,

I cannot close my heart to thee;

I trace the rainbow through the rain,

And feel the promise is not vain,

That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,

I dare not ask to fly from thee;

I lay in dust life’s glory dead,

And from the ground there blossoms red

Life that shall endless be."

Lord, You never let go. You will not let me go. Through sickness and sorrow and pain, through numbness, drought, and rain You hold me close. I thank you for your steadfast love. Love that is pure and never gives up on me, even when I give up on myself. You keep me going, pushing me forwoard like a father pushing his child on a bike. Always keeping me steady and holding on, never letting me fall. You are my love, you are love. A love that will not burn out, no it will never die.
