October 8-11, 2023

it is not for my joy that I hold on to Him

my salvation demands that I not let go

my joy from my salvation springs

I am to work it out with fear and trembling

lest my faithless life be cast away by God

my faith will keep me safely held

I am less concerned for my reward's glory

than I am that I attain the reward itself

my hope stands firm upon His love

it is not for my joy that I hold on to Him

I hold on to Him that He hold sure my life
