Hold On Fast ~

When you grasp,
the end of the rope
don't slide off
or lose your hope.

Don't let go,
of that last thread
let God's mercy
hold you up instead.

When that rope,
begins to unravel
and your nerves
start to frazzle.

Don't let panic,
cause you to slip
on God's love
keep your grip.

When you're at,
the end of your rope
hold on fast . . .
to your one sure hope!

Hebrews 3:6

"But Christ as a son over his own house;
whose house are we, if we hold fast the
confidence and the rejoicing of the
hope firm unto the end."
