My Father and I are currently attending the "Together for the Gospel" Conference in Kentucky. If you are interested, the sessions are broadcast live at live.t4g.org. The sessions will also be posted on the t4g website at a later date for listening.
Today I was touched by the teaching of C.J. Maheny on Job and the mean of enduring suffering. To summarize, the only means of surviving suffering is to become enamored with the vision of Himself that God gives us in His Word.
The session was concluded with a song I had only heard once before and I wish to share the words with you here. The hymn is titled "He Will Hold Me Fast" and is written by Ada Habershon and revised by Matt Merker in 2013.
When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail,
He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold, through life's fearful path
For my love is often cold,
He must hold me fast.
Those He saves are His delight,
Christ will hold me fast.
Precious in His holy sight,
He will hold me fast.
He'll not let my soul be lost, His promises shall last.
Bought by Him at such a cost
He will hold me fast
For my life He bled and died,
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied,
He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life,
He will hold me fast.
Till our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last!
Chorus:
He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so, He will hold my fast.
What a great reminder that we are held securely by the love of Christ. Rest in this.
