Hold His Hand

Trudging  down this dark path,

lost and forsaken in the night.

But then, I heard His voice. 

I turned and saw the light.

I asked Him why I must go,

the way I didn't understand.

He said with a twinkle in His eye,

just hold on  tightly to my hand.

A sigh escaped my breast,

as I grasped His hand tight.

And as I walked with Him,

He pointed to this sight.

I gasped in surprise,

footprints marked the way!

Before me, He had already been, 

the evidence before me lay! 

You see, the way I know,

He looked on me with a smile.

I turned and said, I'll go where you go,

trusting you all the while.

For better than I ever could, 

I trust the path You know.

The farther with Him I go,

my love for Him doth grow.

Being with Him is Heaven to me,

for there's none else who loves me so!
