I am held in the palm of my Savior’s great hands
He shelters me there in the raging storms
And protects me from all elements of harm

I feel cradled and safe, like a newborn babe in the hands of her capable father
His hands are so large there is room to move about and I don’t feel trapped
I feel comforted and secure from the troubles in the world

I feel cushioned from the blows that Satan tries to fling at me
From the assaults that my enemies try to inflict
I feel the warmth of His hands and it is soothing to my shivering fears

Like a baby bird in the safety of the nest, He feeds me as I nestle there
He not only protects me, but He is letting me bide my time until the fateful day
When He lets me try my wings to see if I can fly

If I am not prepared He catches me and never lets me fall to my death
But swoops down and scoops me back up in His loving embrace
Where He holds me once more

Are you held?
Do you know the sweet contentment and the security only found in Him?
Do you feel His presence and His great heart of love that beats for you?

There is no feeling like it in all of the universe
The same God who holds the stars in space, will hold you close
And you will feel the breath from His beautiful face, breathing love upon you

You need never feel alone when you are encircled by the everlasting arms
Or held in His magnificent hands
You need only say,…Father here I am, pick me up and never let me go

He more than welcomes you
He is gracious, generous and kind
He is pleased to carry you wherever you go

You need never feel alone when He offers you His presence
Why would you refuse Him?
Please let Him hold you, as He holds me, and all those who want to be…. held
