Beloved, Holdfast
Hand in hand we walk,
Side by side, our steps match in pace,
You don’t push me or pull,
Patiently you stay right next to me.
When I long for more of you,
You draw intimately near,
Never forsaking, always close,
Abide within me, Lord.
Hands clasped, feet in step,
You and I have a rhythm forming,
Let me stay in pace,
Where you go I will follow.
My companion through every trial,
You pursue me with a steadfast love,
In sickness and in health,
I am your beloved.
You bring power and strength,
I find joy in the mystery of your face,
A majestic embrace; holdfast.
And catch me if I falter.
Confident in your love,
My Beloved, I cling,
I will trust with all I have,
And all I have will be yours.
