You Hold Me Now

Sang the song "You Hold Me Now" by Hillsong United tonight at a CRU meeting. The lyrics of this song break me every time. The chorus is such a beautiful picture of heaven, filled with such longing for that day when there will be no more pain. I think of the pain in my life, my wounds that will be healed, my sin that will forever be gone, my heart that will be whole, redeemed and perfectly cherished by my beloved Jesus.

And I think of the country of Honduras, and my precious children that live there. My heart aches so deeply for them to be healed, to be free, to have all their tears wiped away by Jesus. Oh how I long for the day. The abandoned will be truly loved. The abused and threatened will be safe. Their wounds will be completely redeemed. The heartbroken will know joy. The fearful will know peace and security. The orphan will have a family, will have a Father. For all eternity. They will be held. I will be held. We will no longer be separated. No more goodbyes. No more death. We will be with Jesus. For all eternity.

Deeply thankful that one of my dearest friends was there tonight who has volunteered with me at Orphanage Emmanuel and loves Honduras and whose heart breaks for the children of Honduras. So grateful to cry together, to let ourselves love, to ache, to long, to break, to continue to put our hearts in the hands of the Father, to hope in Him, to rejoice through our tears that He loves us and He longs far deeper than we can ever imagine for the hearts and souls and redemption of these children.

No weeping, no hurt or pain

No suffering You hold me now

You hold me now

No darkness no sick or lame

No hiding You hold me now, 

You hold me now
