When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast When the tempter would prevail, He can hold me fast He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast For my Savior loves me so. He will hold me fast. The lyrics to this hymn were written by Ada R. Haborshon based on the Scripture, Uphold me, and I will be delivered; I will always have regard for your decrees, Psalms 119:117 and the song was written by Robert Harkness. This hymn that sings of the faith that Christ is holding fast to the believers gives endless courage and hope to believers who are facing trials or in weak faith. Before we hold on to the Lord, the Lord is holding us first. How amazing is this grace! In this song, the phrase hold me fast is repeated ten times. Also, in the beginning of the second verse, it says I could never keep my hold once. This means that we cannot stand firm if the Lord does not hold us fast. The content of the Lord holding us appears from verses 1~4, and the chorus concludes with the content that the Lord surely holds me fast. If it is faith that we depend on and hope for, then the Lord holding us fast is called assurance. This song gives us spiritual strength to stand as the ones with assurance. -Remnant Prayer Journal
