Jesus – You Never Let Go

Baby birds rest in their nest –
They don’t fret or worry –
Yet a predator may make
Them orphans
 

A fawn stands by his mother’s side
Nourished – He follows her –
But if she dies – the fawn’s
Forsaken
 

A mother lovingly holds her child –
She rocks her babe to sleep –
But even she may go away –
Some do
 
We lie down and fall asleep –
Resting in Your salvation –
Jesus – You never let go –
Not ever

John 10:27-30 – The Bible (KJV) – My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.

Isaiah 49:14-16 – The Bible (KJV) – But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Hebrews 13:5-6 – The Bible (KJV) – Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
