My soul, my soul! I am in anguish! Oh, my heart!
My heart is pounding in me;
I cannot be silent,
Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet, The alarm of war.
-Jer 4:19 (New American Standard Bible)
Hold on oh my soul..
God is control oh my soul
when trials take their toll
through the winters cold
and the rains of fiery coal
Each day I further wither like grass
Why me Lord ??… the question you ask
Remember you’re chosen for a greater task
& These trials will truly reveal the “real” you
Hold on heart.. don’t go cold
His promises are true and for eternity they will hold
God has forgotten you… falsely by some you have been told
But remember you are God’s beloved… forged in his mold
Jesus, our savior gives us eternal hope
Hope beyond the world’s understanding or scope
On earth.. pilgrims we are trudging an upward slope
Yet everyday one step closer are we to our eternal abode
Don’t give up yet… wait on the Lord
The Lord’s hands are never short
With his Son’s life, he gave you a second shot
Now let nothing sever that Agape love’s cord
At times no goodness can you see
All around… inside out is misery
But the riches of heaven’s treasury
Awaits the faithful who carries on his duty
For when all is good and all is calm
There ariseth no need for the soothing Gilead’s balm
When evil rises to destroy and harm
Then will you see the power of the Lord’s mighty arm
My soul never fear
For our Living God has an attentive ear
and if you listen closely you will hear
the Lord whispering “Dear, I’m always near !!“
God works in ways incomprehensible by human mind
For with every trial comes greater mercy and grace entwined
Seek… seek… the Lord almighty, the gentle and kind
For beyond every battle he has laid great treasures for you to find
Hold on … oh my soul
Hold on !!
