Hold My Heart

I am writing today with a heavy heart. I have a heavy heart for a very close friend of mine who recieved some devestating news today. I do not want to go into details, but I just want to ask you to lift up my friend in your prayers today.  I am at a loss for words of how to make it better, and I know that nothing I can say or do will take her pain away. However, I just wanted to write today to let her know that I am thinking about her and praying for her, and I pray that you will all do the same.

This song by Tenth Avenue North keeps playing over and over in my head.

How long must I pray, must I pray to You?
How long must I wait, must I wait for You?

How long 'til I see Your face, see You shining through?

I'm on my knees, begging You to notice me.
I'm on my knees, Father will you turn to me?

One tear in the dropping rain,

One voice in the sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?

One light, that's all I am

Right now I can barely stand

If You're everything You say You are
Won't You come close and hold my heart

I've been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes

So much can slip away before I say goodbye.
But if there's no other way, I'm done asking why.

Cuz I'm on my knees, begging You to turn to me

I'm on my knees, Father will you run to me?

One tear in the dropping rain,

One voice in the sea of pain

Could the maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?

One light, that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You're everything You say You are

Won't You come close and hold my heart.

So many questions without answers, Your promises remain

I can't sleep but I'll take my chances to hear You call my name

To hear You call my name
One tear in the dropping rain,

One voice in the sea of pain

Could the maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?

One light, that's all I am

Right now I can barely stand
If You're everything You say You are

Won't You come close and hold my heart.
Hold my heart, could you hold my heart?
Hold my heart.




My dear friend if you are reading this we love you, and I am praying for you constantly.  I wish I could take your pain away, but remember to be strong in the Lord and Never give up Hope!
