Very early Monday morning (like 3 am) I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep (which is a common occurrence these days). I began talking to God about the uncertainties I and my family are facing. Not having a consistent source of income right now, I was telling the Lord that I didn't know what I should do or which way to go and asking for His wisdom and direction in my life. I dozed off a few hours later and woke up with a song on my heart and in my mind: a song that Ken and I used to sing together about 28 years ago - a song I had not thought of in a long time, but a song that we both loved. Here are the words to "I'll Cling to Jesus", lyrics by Robert Metzgar and sung by The Deweys:
We all come...to a time...in our lives...
When we ask...what does the future hold...
Which road should I take...or what plans should I make...
Please help me...to know which way to go...
I'LL CLING TO JESUS...AND HE'LL DIRECT MY PATH...
FOR HE'S KNOWN ME BY NAME...SINCE THE DAY THAT I WAS BORN...
I'LL CLING TO JESUS...AND HE WILL GUIDE ME...
NO...I'LL NEVER WALK ALONE...I'LL CLING TO HIM...
When the storm clouds seem to hide the light of day...
Causing trouble to come across my way...
Then my friend I'll have no fear...for my Lord is standing near...
When I touch Him...He'll take the clouds away...
I'LL CLING TO JESUS...AND HE'LL DIRECT MY PATH...
FOR HE'S KNOWN ME BY NAME...SINCE THE DAY THAT I WAS BORN...
I'LL CLING TO JESUS...AND HE WILL GUIDE ME...
NO...I'LL NEVER WALK ALONE...I'LL CLING TO HIM...
NO, I'LL NEVER WALK ALONG...I'LL CLING TO HIM!
Thank you, God, for reminding me Who to go to in my time of need, and where my help, guidance and strength come from! I KNOW I WILL never walk alone as I cling to Him!!
