you never let go

this song is incredible to me. david crowder wrote this after the pastor at his church was tragically killed in front of the congregation, and they were grieving together. i find it a powerful reminder that no matter what is going on in our lives, no matter what we're struggling with, the Lord always has us in the palm of his hand.

psalm 139.7-10, where can i go from your spirit? where can i flee from your presence? if i go up to the heavens, you are there; if i make my bed in the depths, you are there. if i rise on the wings of the dawn, if i settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

when clouds veil sun/ and disaster comes/ oh, my soul
when waters rise/ and hope takes flight/ oh, my soul

ever faithful/ ever true/ you i know/ you never let go

when clouds brought rain/ and disaster came/ oh, my soul
when waters rose/ and hope had flown/ oh, my soul

oh, my soul overflows/ oh, what love/ oh, my soul
fills with hope/ perfect love that never lets go

oh, what love, oh what love/ in joy and pain/ in sun and rain
you're the same/ oh, you never let go

zephaniah 3.17, the Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. he will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
