Hold me Jesus

Do you remember the song by Rich Mullins "Hold me Jesus"?


"Well sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
When 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 feel the dark
It's 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 to take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

I'm singing 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
You have been King of my glory"

I find myself shaking in life, maybe not on the outside but the inside, surrender to Christ is crucial in our lives, but when we really understand that we are surrendering to a God who loves us and has the gentlest touch, our perspective changes. Gods love is what changes our lives. It goes beyond reason or comprehension, that is why it is so amazing, it is from that moment that we desire and have the God given power to walk out life as He calls us to.
