You Never Let Go

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know You are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

I heard this song for the first time when I went to youth with a few friends on Friday night. We were in the sanctuary I guess since I'm not very familiar with that church yet, and we were just worshipping. This song came on, and it really touched my heart.

I guess the biggest reason it touched my heart was because even though I was in a place to where I knew less than half of the people there for more than a couple hours, God's hands were still holding me, molding me into the man He wants me to be. One thing that I can tell you, God's presence in that room was undeniable.

That's the other reason I felt so touched by that song, because even when we can't tell that He is there with us, He is holding us in His hands. So, by feeling His presence moving through that room as if He were literally flesh again, walking there with us, there was no doubt in my mind that I was being held.

One great thing was that not only did I know God was there, the people I met there will definitely become some of my best friends in my walk with Christ. All the new brothers I gained on Friday are going to be some great blessings. There are just so many people that these guys are going to touch as they go throughout their schools. I can not wait to go through life with these great guys.

That's all for right now. Hope you guys have a great day, and I hope God blesses you all greatly
Love
