He Holds the Future

When storms are raging' round me
And I'm drowning in quicksand,
And unhappy things are happening,
Things that I don't understand,
When I don't know what esle to do,
I'll just do what I can.
Because He who holds the Future
He also holds my hand.

I'll believe that God is with me
Every step of the way.
If He brought me to it
He'll bring me through it,
So in His care I'll stay.
And I will face my future
According to His plan.
He who holds the Future
Also holds my hand.

Inspired by Austism

I love, love, loved this little memoir by Claudreen Jackson.  She used quotes from other authors that helped her with her son's condition.  Here are my favorite:

"Like a ship that's tossed and driven
and battered by an angry sea
When the storm of life are raging
and the fury falls on me
I wonder just what I have done that makes
my race so hard to run
Then I say to my soul, "Don't worry.
The Lord will make a way somehow."

"Precious Lord, take my hand.
Lead me on, let me stand.
I'm tired, I am weak, I am worn.
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand, Precious Lord, lead me on.

"God created us and He can constantly and automatically recreate us."

Psalms 23:3 "He restores my soul."

"Don't die with your music still in you."
