hold fast. help is on the way...

so. its wednesday night, 6:28 pm, and a song comes on the radio, Love 89.1 (a christian radio station that i RARELY listen to). so this song starts playing, and im pretty much floored. it just happened to be the right song, at the right time. see, every wednesday night at 6:30 i teach the preschoolers at first united methodist church in jefferson city...so, of course, realizing i am already late, i continue sitting in the parking lot listening to this song. after composing myself back to sanity, i do my wednesday night thing... in this process i forgot the lyrics of the song, or the title, artist, etc. so i finally get home. scrambling through my messed up brain trying to think of the words to the song. so after coming up with like 4 words of the song, i googled, and googled, and googled, nothing. i looked on the website, nothing. i emailed the dj during that time, no response...i called the radio station, no answer. i was helplessly obsessed with finding this song. i had my radio on Love 89 for nearly 24 hours, hoping this song would come back on, and didnt.

so after a looong two days of searching for this song, my cousin gets the bright idea to try and google some lyrics i told her. 2 seconds after...she found it. absolutely made me sick! so anyways, after much searching, here are the lyrics to my new favorite song. it just so happens to fit my life in the most perfect way.

Hold Fast, by MercyMe:

To everyone who's hurting

To those who've had enough

To all the undeserving

That should cover all of us

Please do not let go

I promise there is hope

Hold fast

Help is on the way

Hold fast

He's come to save the day

What I've learned in my life

One thing greater than my strife

Is His grasp

So hold fast

Will this season ever pass?

Can we stop this ride?

Will we see the sun at last?

Or could this be our lot in life?

Please do not let go

I promise you there's hope

Hold fast

Help is on the way

Hold fast

He's come to save the day

What I've learned in my life

One thing greater than my strife

Is Your grasp

So hold fast

You may think you're all alone

And there's no way that anyone could know

What you're going through

But if you only hear one thing

Just understand that we are all the same

Searching for the truth

The truth of what we're soon to face

Unless someone comes to take our place

Is there anyone?

All we want is to be free

Free from our captivity, Lord

Here He comes

Hold fast

Help is on the way

Hold fast

He's come to save the day

What I've learned in my life

One thing stronger than my strife

Is Your grasp

So hold fast

Help is on the way

Hold fast

He's come to save the day

What I've learned in my life

One thing greater than my strife

Is Your grasp

So hold fast
