a new favorite anthem

Loving this song right now...we sang it this weekend at church and it gets alot of plays on my ipod, especially in these last few months.

What glorious things we have to look forward to when we put our hope in the Lord! And what a comfort to know that, even amidst the worst trials and lies that this life and satan have to offer, our Savior is already holding us. As we have gone through my latest flare up and another 3 month hospitalization, we have still been so blessed because we could feel that we were truly held by our Heavenly Father. We have also felt the support of all of you who have held us up in prayer when we felt we couldn't go on.
We truly know what it means to be held...by a loving community of faith, and by a Heavenly Father who doesn't just promise us peace in knowing that we will be in His arms someday in Heaven, but that He holds us right here and right now.

"You Hold Me Now"

On the day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace

All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
And forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven rise to You alone

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

In this life I would stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fades

Where Your name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your name
I'm believing for the day

Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven rise to You alone

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

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name 

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name

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

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
