I’ll Hold you in My Grasp
My sweet and precious Jesus,
From where do these tears fall?
They are coming fast and oh, so strong
But, I thought I’d cried them all.
Though my tears flow like a river,
And my heart is sure to break,
I thank You Lord that you are with me,
Each morning as I wake.
For how I am to make it Lord,
Is a question I have to ask.
And Your answer to me, is loud and clear.
“I’ll hold you in My grasp.”
When the people all around me,
Are going about their day,
How am I to carry on, My Lord?
Tell me what to say.
When the words of comfort come to me,
But they do little for the pain.
Breathe on me Your Word so clear,
As I’m calling out Your name.
When sadness seems to settle,
And the emptiness always lasts.
Your voice will echo in the void,
“I’ll hold you in My grasp.”
When death comes to the door,
And frightens me with its knock.
How I am to let it in, My Lord,
When I want to turn the lock?
For I know that being with You now,
Is a better place to be.
But my heart aches to be near to those,
Who are crying over me.
Show me Lord to walk with you,
Help me through this task.
Give me ears to hear You say,
“I’ll hold you in My grasp.”
When my heart is beating slower,
And my breath is hard to find.
Comfort those surrounding me
For they will know that it is time.
Lift me up in Your loving arms,
Carry me Home to be with You.
Help those who are watching over me,
Lift their eyes to only You.
I’ve come to the place of perfect peace.
My days on earth have passed.
I am in Your Holy presence, Lord,
I’m forever in Your grasp.

Dear Lord,
I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be so close to Grant's family and his dad at the time of his dad's passing. We cried and laughed and tried to honor Mr. Tom as he was preparing to come and visit You. We were so at peace with the fact that we KNEW he would soon be in Your home. For anyone going through a similar situation of loss, or loss in general, I ask that you will blanket them with your peace and comfort.
I love you, Amen.
