I know what you've been hearing  I've seen you hide your fear  Embarrassed by your weaknesses  Afraid to let Me near  I wish you knew how much  I long for you to understand  No matter what may happen, child  I'll never let go of your hand    I know you've been forsaken  By all you've known before  When you failed their expectations  They frowned and closed the door  But even though your heart itself  Should lose the will to stand  No matter what may happen, child  I'll never let go of your hand    The life that I have given you  No one can take away  I've sealed it with my Spirit, Blood and Word  The everlasting Father  Has made His covenant with you  And He's stronger than the world you've seen and heard    So don't you fear to show them  All the love I have for you  I'll be with you everywhere  In everything you do  And even if you do it wrong  And miss the joy I've planned  I'll never, never let go of your hand    The life that I have given you  No one can take away  I've sealed it with my Spirit, Blood and Word  The everlasting Father  Has made His covenant with you  And He's stronger than the world you've seen and heard    So don't you fear to show them  All the love I have for you  I'll be with you everywhere  In everything you do  And even if you do it wrong  And miss the joy I've planned  I'll never, never let go of your hand  I'll never let go of your hand
