You Never Let Go.

In my life right now, I am in a place of change.  To say this seems kind of silly because I feel I say the same thing every year, but, it is true.

So many things are changing right now.  My place of dwelling, cities, jobs, churches.  Family members have been lost and others have returned.  Old friends remain and new ones are hopefully being gained.

My heart is sad.  My heart is happy.  My heart is heavy.  My heart is free.

It is times like these that I need to remember what life is all about.  It truly is about change and becoming the best person that I can be.  If that means that I must have some pain and stress here and there along the way then so be it.  I find it hard to remember things like this when I am actually going through a tough patch.

Life I am guessing was never meant to be easy.  It is meant to be challenging.  I was just talking to someone yesterday and I spoke of how I once heard, "Anything worth doing is going to be a challenge or hard at first."  All other things are not challenging because they hold no true significance and will not have a huge bearing on your life. My life.

I  need to remember this, always.

I believe that is why, when at church the other day that this song struck me so hard.  Have I heard this song before, yes... but I did not remember it and it was just what I needed.

And now I shall share it with you.

Because we all have to remember who is in charge and that he never leaves us, even when we feel he does.




You Never Let Go, by: Matt Redman




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 through 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

There will be an end to these troubles but until that day comes

We’ll live to know you here on the Earth

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 through every high and every low

Oh no you never let go

Lord, you never let go of me

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

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

Oh no you never let go through the calm and through the storm

Oh no you never let go through every high and every low

Oh no you never let go

Lord, you never let go of me

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


What are some things that you need to remember?
