Hold to Jesus

When Marty & I began the adoption process it was very important to us that we record all of the obstacles and blessings that we face while on our journey to meet our special someone in Kazakhstan! So, we decided that by creating a blog we could record our journey as well as share with our friends, family, and those who may be considering to answer God's call to adoption in their own life. We spent several days discussing and praying about what we would name our blog... "Hold to Jesus" is our prayer for our special someone! We pray that whatever he/she may be experiecing they will hold to Jesus because He has "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."-Jeremiah 29:11

The following lyrics are my prayer for our special someone...
We can't hold her/him YET.... but He can!


Hold On To Jesus
By Erin O'Donnell

You're a little piece of heaven
You're a golden ray of light
And I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
But if there's one thing I could tell you
It's no matter what you do
Hold to Jesus
He's holding on to you

The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
That beauty's on the outside
And being good's a losing fight
But remember what I've told you
Because the world will make you choose
Hold to Jesus
He's holding on to you

Hold on to Jesus
Cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy
Whenever things get rough
Don't lose sight of His goodness
And don't ever doubt this truth
That when you hold on to Jesus
He's holding on to you

Hear me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep her close when she's scared
And give her grace when she is weak
I know she'll stumble
But I know she'll make it through
If you hold to her just like
You said You'd do
Hold her Jesus
And she'll hold on tight to You
