He Won't Let Go

"I Won't Let Go"  ~Rascal Flatts

It's like a storm
That cuts a path
It breaks your will
It feels like that

You think you're lost
But you're not lost on your own
you're not alone

I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
If you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go

It hurts my heart
To see you cry
I know it's dark
This part of life
Oh it finds us all
And we're too small
To stop the rain
Oh but when it rains

I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight

And I won't let you fall
Don't be afraid to fall
I'm right here to catch you
I won't let you down
It won't get you down
you're gonna make it
Yeah I know you can make it

Cause I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
And I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go
Oh I'm gonna hold you
And I won't let go
Won't let you go
No I won't 

 

When I first listened to this song, I thought I like it because it's from Rascal Flatts. But when I heard it the second time, going line by line with the lyrics (from AZ Lyrics), my tears just rolled down my cheeks. I couldn't stop crying for a long time. 

You hear all my sorrows, my happiness, my tears, my bitter, my sweet... You hear them all. I feel, as if You are telling me: You will stand by me, You will dry my eyes, You will fight my fight and, You will hold me tide, and never let me go.

I've been reading a book called "Disappointment with God" by Philip Yancey lately. What attracted me was how he would write such a book to his audiences, when I knew he is a renowned Christian writer.

In his book, he mentioned some Christians claimed that when they asked God for help, they heard nothing from Him. When I read that, I asked myself if I ever thought of it. Maybe, maybe during my search for God and before I was baptised. But, I really don't remember. I only remember He is always at my side. I'm blessed, and I always am thankful for that. 

When things don't turn out my way, I ask Him: is it something You want me to learn and I'm yet to pick it up? Ever since last year, I've learned to ask Him when I was helpless or hopeless: Is it something You haven't told me, and I should wait a bit longer? Everytime when I turn, puff, there, is Your message. 

I always believe He talks to everyone of us individually, in His own way. You might not hear Him directly, message might come from a writing, or a song, or by a messenger that only you can understand the meaning of the words, or a movie scene, or a scenery by the road side, or a dish... I just want to say, He is here, He is everywhere. He has His own unique way to express it, only you will know it. Sorry to say that, everyone of us receive the message in different forms. Peculiar? Yes, it is.

Sometimes we are deaf and dumb, we need to be reminded more than once. That's why in prayer, we ask for His mercy and wisdom to understand His Word. We do it every Sunday.  ^_^

I will always remember that You stand by me, help me through, dry my eyes and fight my fight. You will hold me tide and never let me go. At the end of my life, You will wait for me at the gate of heaven. 

I always believe that.
