In Jesus' embrace

The world is choking me,

The wind is too cold,

Everywhere its hate I see,

I find myself no more bold.

Yet in a still quiet voice I hear Him say,

“In the storm I hold your hand,

I know you hide tears during the day,

But always by your side I stand.

You’ll be stirred but not shaken,

Mocked, persecuted, wronged,

Yet you are mine not forsaken.

I will fulfill all that you’ve longed,

Fear not, just be patient,

I rise up on your behalf,

In no way am I latent,

You’re protected from head to calf.”

So now I hold my rest,

With Him I pass every test,

Through wind and storm,

rain, hail, cold and warm,

I know His loving embrace,

I feel safe in Jesus’ grace.
