I told my mother that i gave my life to Jesus and she said she will never regard me as her daughter anymore but all that doesn't matter. I feel at peace after my decision. My trust in Jesus will never change. I love you Jesus
God regards you as his daughter. That’s all that matters. Will be praying your Mom has her eyes opened to what Jesus has to offer us… eternal life! God bless….
"And anyone and everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for My name’s sake will receive many [even a hundred] times more and will inherit eternal life." Matt19:29
My mom had a ruptured colon. The surgeon said it was one of the three worse cases he had seen. He was basically telling us she was going to die. But my mom wasn’t saved, and I prayed to Jesus saying… Jesus, people will say she’s going to a better place but you know that’s not true, my mom isn’t saved, please give her more time on this earth. My mom lived another 14+ years and was born again before she died. All the glory to Jesus. Praise his holy name. 🙌
At almost 70 years old, my mind isn't as sharp as it was. I find it difficult to stay on task when I pray and the enemy tells me I'm going to be lost in the end. When I need reassurance, I come to this song. God's grace will held me fast until the end. Praise Him for reminders of His love and goodness to us.
Ps 81, Don Green, RUclips. Listened to that yesterday. What reassurance. "For my Saviour loves me so, He will hold me fast." Keep listening to His voice. He has done it. For us. He will hold us fast. Praise God. God bless you.
Have you read the prayer David prayed to God, Psalms 71:9? He’s asked God not to forsake him in his old age. This is a Psalms I hold dear to my heart, now that I am up in age. Don’t beat yourself up. Jesus loves you and His grace is sufficient in our weakness.🙌🏽🙏🏼😆
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but just Give GOD a little more time. Give HIM your worries, accept HIS peace & rest. He will carry you & make a way.Amen♥🕊
We played this on the day my granddaughter was supposed to die from HLHS. She didn’t! This song reminds me of all God’s power and love to overcome difficulties in our lives. His love is the final say! I played this over and over again for my granddaughter till the day God took her home to be with Him. Such beautiful memories!
Dear , my daughter is 9 months now, she has the same heart issue, 4 heart surgeries after she is with us, in life or death Jesus hold us fast and is completely worthy of our praise!
Father God is loving, faithful and true. Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer remains Lord of all. May the God of hope continue to comfort our broken hearts as we look forward to eternity with Him. Amen.
I just had a lumpectomy, and it was cancerous. Scary to hear that. Talk of chemo & radiation after that. I have been distant from God, but as I was listening to the radio I decided to change the channel to find a Christian station. This song came on. I cried as I remembered the Scriptures I had once known so well years past and the reassurance this song gave me. The harmonies oh my. As I lay in bed tonight nauseous, I googled the only part I could remember and this RUclips came up. That's it! That's the song with the choir and everything! Thank you God! Thank you all for the comments on here and these artists who shared their craft whether singing or playing an instrument. To God be the Glory!
Jesus knows what is in our hearts. He saw the need you have to get a conversation going with Him once again. I do not believe it was coincidence that you found Selah. Their beautiful harmony and songs speak to me also. Blessings will be revealed to you through your diagnosis & treatment. They have begun already! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I am a 21 yr survivor. 🙏🏼
Remember, God drops everything and searches for his lost sheep. And the scripture says that when the shepherd finds it he calls all his friends and neighbors and tells them of HIS JOY. You bring God joy! WE BRING GOD JOY...hard to fathom.
I cannot listen to this song without weeping -that my Savior loves even me so great a sinner - I repent of my doubts and lack of faith in so loving a redeemer
Same here. Being reminded of the sacrifice he made for us, though I am so dirty a sinner brings me to my knees in tears in awe of what my God has done for me on the cross
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I'm so thankful for the grace God has given me. I don't deserve any of it. In fact, I deserve the opposite! Thank You God for being so patient and kind towards me!
I am sorry to read about your loss. I can relate to that in part. I have had dry life seasons filled with nothingness, but the Lord showed himself faithful more than ever in those times. Hold on to Jesus 🙏
Praying for you! This life can be just too sad sometimes but He is our Rock! “Just as Jerusalem is protected by mountains on every side, the LORD protects his people by holding them in his arms now and forever.” Ps 125:2 CEV
May you know the presence of God's love and friendship deeper now than ever before and saying a prayer that He will send one of His children into your life to show you His love through the power of human relationship and that of a faithful friend.
This song is reassuring of God’s love for use. Please pray for my nephew you have just been diagnosed with cancer. Please that God will intervene and His glory will be shown.
I’m over 60 a few days ago . . . have walked with the Lord for some 30 years. This song is what it is all about my friends: Jesus - and Him alone. His kind of love holds you through whatever and forever. May God bless all who made this video.
I have the same struggle, Jean. I’m 66 years old. I to struggle to stay on task and my memory isn’t what it used to be. I lost my husband to brain cancer almost 5 years ago. I understand the feeling of being lost in the end. Now that I’m alone, I fear I’ll die alone. I just heard this song for the first time today. It’s given me some comfort in knowing He will hold me fast now and at the end of my life. I love what Frank and the others said about reading Psalms. I’m going to start doing that every night before I go to bed. Our Savior loves us so. He will hold us fast. My thoughts and prayers are with you Jean. ❤️
Dear Mama, Loneliness is such a bad thing. It is one of the greatest weapons of Satan. The only way to overcome it is through fellowship. Hebrews 10:24 -25 encourages us to fellowship; meeting and encouraging one another. Apart from attending church, I pray that you may find or form a home fellowship. Find godly people to do life with, go out with them for evangelism, and start a frontier. Share this grace christ has given you with the rest of the world. I promise that your life won't remain the same. Blessings.
This song hits home! I am coming out of a 30 year struggle. I slid down into the chasm then crawled up a steep cliff and as I looked up over the edge Jesus stood there with his arms open wide. He just does not give up on us! Now I know I never have to give up on Him. I asked, what about those wasted 30 years and He spoke to my heart "30 years is nothing" and out of my mouth I continued with "Yea! Compared to eternity!" It's never too late! His work in me continues.
About 18 months ago, i was concerned that i might have dementia, i was forgetting stuff, a lot. One day, i told God i was afraid if i had dementia, that i would firget Him. And, He said, "But I won't forget you". I couldn't keep the tears back, & i remembered the verse, that said, He had tattooed me in His hand. When i heard this song, it just reinforced what He told me, & that verse. The brain dr said it was age related, & that i was ok.
When I fear my faith will fail Christ will hold me fast When the tempter would prevail He will hold me fast I could never keep my hold Through life's fearful path For my love is often cold He must hold me fast He will hold me fast He will hold me fast For my Saviour loves me so He will hold me fast Those He saves are His delight Christ will hold me fast Precious in His holy sight He will hold me fast He'll not let my soul be lost His promises shall last Bought by Him at such a cost He will hold me fast He will hold me fast He will hold me fast For my Saviour loves me so He will hold me fast For my life He bled and died Christ will hold me fast Justice has been satisfied He will hold me fast Raised with Him to endless life He will hold me fast 'Til our faith is turned to sight When He comes at last! He will hold me fast He will hold me fast For my Saviour loves me so He will hold me fast He will hold me fast He will hold me fast For my Saviour loves me so He will hold me fast

Thanks for sharing. Can relate as evidenced by the following sentences delineating how we use music to deal with pain and stir up faith. The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy. The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below. That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal. GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.
Just looking at the bigger picture. When a person puts their trust in GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GUIDE AND COMFORT THEM in every area of their lives. With caps as emphasis, a prayer of surrender to GOD using JESUS CHRIST AS THE MEDIATOR to urge the broken, wounded, empty, desperate and guilty to be mended, healed, filled rescued, and pardoned by HIM. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
You have a fabulous comment as it is the most biblical. Jesus never fails and never will let go of us; although we can let go of Jesus, the creator will never let us go, so tie a know, fast and pray, and hold tight
During this time of an unknowable future, with so many suffering physically and financially, it is such a comfort to know Who holds me fast, Whose child I am, and that nothing- NOTHING - not plague, nor famine, nor war can ever separate me from His love. Jesus. My Savior. Thank you God.
".....Neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand....; And no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand."- John 10:28,29.HE WILL HOLD ME FAST.
I can be assured that despite what occurs in my life, my Father God will be with me, Jesus will not abandon me, and the Holy Spirit will always be my Comforter.
Ich liebe dieses Lied, es gibt so viel Trost und meine Seele empfindet die Liebe Jesus. Er hilft immer, sage immer wieder mit geschlossenen Augen "O Jesus, ich gebe mich dir hin, sorge du!"
Writing this comment as an encouragement to others who may be going through a tough time. My dad passed away a month ago, this song was on repeat before and after he passed away. God does really hold us in his hand, even though there were countless moments you may not even feel that God is there for you, even when the doubts and troubles of the world overwhelms you, God held onto my family and I. I distinctly remember one night I was in tears and thoughts that said “God, I am merely a 21 year old, how can I survive without my dad whom is the sole breadwinner”. But how God is ALWAYS good and he has never failed me even with taking my dad home. Do not let go of God, because he will never let go of you.
He’s the Good Shepherd Who came to save sinners like me... I’m that sheep that strayed and He brought me safely home and someday I’ll dwell in His house forever. Glory!!
brian heyward I first met the King as a college student in 1975. By His grace, I still walk with Him today. If I thought for one moment that I could obey and serve Him using my own strength, I would have wandered away long ago. Praise God for the wonderful truth proclaimed in this powerful soul. HE will hold me fast. I cannot listen to this song without tears of gratitude flowing, as my heart considers the Lord Jesus Christ.
The world is growing darker by the day, in ways I never imagined I would live to see. I know that God’s Word warns us that all these things and more would happen before our Lord returns. I’m trusting my Lord. Thank you for this beautiful encouraging song reminding us that He will indeed hold me fast. God bless you and your beautiful precious family as you continue to trust and serve Him. ❤️🙏
JESUS,whoever is listening to this wonderful love song but don’t feel You arms holding them fast,draw them by the Holy Spirit and let them feel Your Amazing Love.
Ah yes!! No heavy drums and guitars.. no young punks up there with tattoos and nose rings.. just people worshiping and magnifying the truth if the word of God in song .. how refreshing!! Beautiful song!!
This has been on repeat the last month and with all that is going in the world right now, I am so thankful for the reminder that no matter what, He will hold me fast! Praying He helps me to keep my eyes on Him in this ever changing world.
I love this song and every since the Coronavirus has happened this song helps me too remember God will hold us during the dark season our world is experiencing! He is faithful!
This is a beautiful and very anointed song for us to listen to often. Thank you Selah for your beautiful ministry of music to us who are in this world but not of it. Thank you Lord Jesus for the encouragement found in this song. We will worship You now and forever.
I'm 70 years old now with injuries due to two car accidents and a job injury to my wrist and hands holding on by the grace of God now and for ever more, I love that song, Christ will hold us fast, only him and him alone Amen🙏🙏🙏
On my way to visit my baby dying in the hospita of brain cancer this song was a comfort to me. I was strengthened hearing it daily. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it
There’s a rising trend of falling in love with real singers and bands like Selah and the Gettys who write songs of sound biblical knowledge and less of unnecessary embellishments to draw people. We are praying for growing impact across the world through your Christ-honouring music and ministry.
Please pray for me I will be seeing a surgeon for a problem I am scared to death, nervous, anxious and cannot sleep I need peace so I can take care of my family I pray for healing or successful surgery and recovery. Thank you
8 am in that place where I desperately need him and he is holding fest.What can I do without Jesus christ? Thank you Lord for your unconditional Love ❤
I don’t know what Songs we will sing to Jesus and our Great God when we worship at the Throne but I hope this is one! Imagine all of us in Heaven singing this to the Lamb!!!😢
" May the Lord Jesus Christ be wherever you are, His gentle touch filling your heart, And until that day when you meet Him Face to face, may your life be filled with His Eternal Grace ! " Amen
This is one of the most reassuring songs I've heard. I'm nearing 69 years and as the years go by, this song will be there for me. Thank you dear Jesus!
I have listened to this over and over this week. And though I am hurting right now, I have felt the Lord holding me close and hugging me each time I listen to this. So well done!
I have seen other versions of this song-by other artists and with more racial diversity-but I love this one the best. I think the “racial” issue was just Satan’s way of trying to keep a lid on it. This one is the best ever! I listen to it over and over again because it speaks of worship to my heart.
Yes, indeed our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ will always hold me fast whenever and whatever unexpected happening occurs. As in Psalm 125:1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
IT IS MY DESIRE AND PRAYER, FOR YOU ALL ,BEFORE OUR LORD, THAT THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU, THE LORD MAKE SHINE HIS FACE UPON YOU AND HAVE MERCY ON YOU, THE LORD LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE UPON YOU AND GIVE YOU PEACE. AMEN.
All glory, honor and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ who makes this possible. Thank you Jesus. Without you there is no future. With You, we can face this world. You have me written on the palm of Your hand.
Lisa Artruc I love that scripture reference... and the one that tells me He’s given me a name that only He knows... Unbelievably grateful that He holds me, ❤️
I told my mother that i gave my life to Jesus and she said she will never regard me as her daughter anymore but all that doesn't matter. I feel at peace after my decision. My trust in Jesus will never change. I love you Jesus
God bless, yoy.
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Psalm 27:10
God regards you as his daughter. That’s all that matters. Will be praying your Mom has her eyes opened to what Jesus has to offer us… eternal life! God bless….
"And anyone and everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for My name’s sake will receive many [even a hundred] times more and will inherit eternal life." Matt19:29
God will bless you with so much more.
God bless you, I have gained a sister 🤗❤️🙏🕊
My mom had a ruptured colon. The surgeon said it was one of the three worse cases he had seen. He was basically telling us she was going to die. But my mom wasn’t saved, and I prayed to Jesus saying… Jesus, people will say she’s going to a better place but you know that’s not true, my mom isn’t saved, please give her more time on this earth. My mom lived another 14+ years and was born again before she died. All the glory to Jesus. Praise his holy name. 🙌
Praise our awesome Holy God for His tender mercy.
Praise GOD for this testimony
Thank you for sharing this❤
@@latishastreet9484 The name of Jesus be glorified in all the earth. 🙌
Praise the Lord…! 🙌🏿 You loved your mother with true love, and God honored your prayer. ❤
At almost 70 years old, my mind isn't as sharp as it was. I find it difficult to stay on task when I pray and the enemy tells me I'm going to be lost in the end. When I need reassurance, I come to this song. God's grace will held me fast until the end. Praise Him for reminders of His love and goodness to us.
Ps 81, Don Green, RUclips. Listened to that yesterday. What reassurance. "For my Saviour loves me so, He will hold me fast." Keep listening to His voice. He has done it. For us. He will hold us fast. Praise God. God bless you.
Jean you will be alright. Satan is a liar ,always has been. Its not what we do it is what Jesus has done for us. Gods richest blessings to you.
Have you read the prayer David prayed to God, Psalms 71:9? He’s asked God not to forsake him in his old age. This is a Psalms I hold dear to my heart, now that I am up in age. Don’t beat yourself up. Jesus loves you and His grace is sufficient in our weakness.🙌🏽🙏🏼😆
i totally relate, Jean...at age 77!!
Jean, tell Satan to go when he tries to discourage you, then keep speaking to Jesus. You are precious.
I was just diagnosed with blood cancer, on my birthday of all days, an a life long friend dedicated this song to me. Thank you, Sandy.

May God heal you and help you. ❤
Sorry your going through that. Praying for God's healing.
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but just Give GOD a little more time. Give HIM your worries, accept HIS peace & rest. He will carry you & make a way.Amen♥🕊
Me! I needed to hear this. Thank you. God bless you. ❤
Thank you, just what I needed. Dealing with so much
I needed to hear this. Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you!
We played this on the day my granddaughter was supposed to die from HLHS. She didn’t! This song reminds me of all God’s power and love to overcome difficulties in our lives. His love is the final say! I played this over and over again for my granddaughter till the day God took her home to be with Him. Such beautiful memories!
Sorry for your loss, but I appreciate you sharing your faith and confidence. ❤
Dear , my daughter is 9 months now, she has the same heart issue, 4 heart surgeries after she is with us, in life or death Jesus hold us fast and is completely worthy of our praise!
Amen He is always faithful...
Father God is loving, faithful and true. Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer remains Lord of all. May the God of hope continue to comfort our broken hearts as we look forward to eternity with Him. Amen.
I just had a lumpectomy, and it was cancerous. Scary to hear that. Talk of chemo & radiation after that. I have been distant from God, but as I was listening to the radio I decided to change the channel to find a Christian station. This song came on. I cried as I remembered the Scriptures I had once known so well years past and the reassurance this song gave me. The harmonies oh my. As I lay in bed tonight nauseous, I googled the only part I could remember and this RUclips came up. That's it! That's the song with the choir and everything! Thank you God! Thank you all for the comments on here and these artists who shared their craft whether singing or playing an instrument. To God be the Glory!
Jesus knows what is in our hearts. He saw the need you have to get a conversation going with Him once again. I do not believe it was coincidence that you found Selah. Their beautiful harmony and songs speak to me also. Blessings will be revealed to you through your diagnosis & treatment. They have begun already! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I am a 21 yr survivor. 🙏🏼
Remember, God drops everything and searches for his lost sheep. And the scripture says that when the shepherd finds it he calls all his friends and neighbors and tells them of HIS JOY. You bring God joy! WE BRING GOD JOY...hard to fathom.
Good morning from South Africa. I just want to find out how are you coping. I pray for you. He will hold you fast
He will hold you fast! Lord please touch her with healing!
I went through it all in 2016. I’m cancer free now and praying you will experience Christ as your Saviour by your side through treatment. Prayers
I cannot listen to this song without weeping -that my Savior loves even me so great a sinner - I repent of my doubts and lack of faith in so loving a redeemer
how sweet and beautiful... a warm hug to you...
I get so emotional when I hear this. The Ukrainian Christians were singing this song ( Utube)
Same here. Being reminded of the sacrifice he made for us, though I am so dirty a sinner brings me to my knees in tears in awe of what my God has done for me on the cross
Me too...me too. Glory to God. Lord help us to Abide in You, until we come home.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!
I'm so thankful for the grace God has given me. I don't deserve any of it. In fact, I deserve the opposite!
Thank You God for being so patient and kind towards me!
I am 72 and have the same problem. Just like you, I turned to this incredible song and no no matter what, he will hold me fast!❤❤
The choir swell at " When our faith is turned to sight" is the longing of our souls.
I can not wait for that day!
Amen
I have lost everything and everyone. All I have is Christ. But since Lord will so be it! Hold me fast to you oh God!
He will hold you fast, Yen Tan, and will not let you go. May you know his comfort.
Praying for you 🙏.
I am sorry to read about your loss. I can relate to that in part. I have had dry life seasons filled with nothingness, but the Lord showed himself faithful more than ever in those times. Hold on to Jesus 🙏
Praying for you! This life can be just too sad sometimes but He is our Rock! “Just as Jerusalem is protected by mountains on every side, the LORD protects his people by holding them in his arms now and forever.” Ps 125:2 CEV
May you know the presence of God's love and friendship deeper now than ever before and saying a prayer that He will send one of His children into your life to show you His love through the power of human relationship and that of a faithful friend.
This song is reassuring of God’s love for use. Please pray for my nephew you have just been diagnosed with cancer. Please that God will intervene and His glory will be shown.
Praying for your nephew and you now.
Praying with you.
I’m over 60 a few days ago . . . have walked with the Lord for some 30 years. This song is what it is all about my friends: Jesus - and Him alone. His kind of love holds you through whatever and forever. May God bless all who made this video.
I have the same struggle, Jean. I’m 66 years old. I to struggle to stay on task and my memory isn’t what it used to be. I lost my husband to brain cancer almost 5 years ago. I understand the feeling of being lost in the end. Now that I’m alone, I fear I’ll die alone. I just heard this song for the first time today. It’s given me some comfort in knowing He will hold me fast now and at the end of my life. I love what Frank and the others said about reading Psalms. I’m going to start doing that every night before I go to bed. Our Savior loves us so. He will hold us fast. My thoughts and prayers are with you Jean. ❤️
Dear Mama,
Loneliness is such a bad thing. It is one of the greatest weapons of Satan. The only way to overcome it is through fellowship. Hebrews 10:24 -25 encourages us to fellowship; meeting and encouraging one another. Apart from attending church, I pray that you may find or form a home fellowship. Find godly people to do life with, go out with them for evangelism, and start a frontier. Share this grace christ has given you with the rest of the world. I promise that your life won't remain the same.
Blessings.

Thanks for the encouragement.
When Peter was walking on the water to Jesus he began to doubt and began to sink, but Jesus reached out and caught Peter and *held him fast* .
He will
The lyrics are over 100 years old yet still fully relevant today.
Jesus is coming back at an hour you do not expect! Be ready!
This song hits home! I am coming out of a 30 year struggle. I slid down into the chasm then crawled up a steep cliff and as I looked up over the edge Jesus stood there with his arms open wide. He just does not give up on us! Now I know I never have to give up on Him. I asked, what about those wasted 30 years and He spoke to my heart "30 years is nothing" and out of my mouth I continued with "Yea! Compared to eternity!" It's never too late! His work in me continues.
Amen, He will hold us all fast. Praise the lord for the miracle in your life. He who has began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
Praise the Lord!
Amen! The work He has started in His children, He will complete it !!
He was underneath you pushing you up all the way. You would never had got out if not. :-)

About 18 months ago, i was concerned that i might have dementia, i was forgetting stuff, a lot. One day, i told God i was afraid if i had dementia, that i would firget Him. And, He said, "But I won't forget you". I couldn't keep the tears back, & i remembered the verse, that said, He had tattooed me in His hand. When i heard this song, it just reinforced what He told me, & that verse. The brain dr said it was age related, & that i was ok.
Hang in there. Don't give up. Even if we fail, God won't. :) You keep it on! The price is already paid. :D
One of the most underrated singers; Selah
Their mark on Christian music will one day appreciated.
When I fear my faith will fail
Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail
He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold
Through life's fearful path
For my love is often cold
He must hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Saviour loves me so
He will hold me fast
Those He saves are His delight
Christ will hold me fast
Precious in His holy sight
He will hold me fast
He'll not let my soul be lost
His promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Saviour loves me so
He will hold me fast
For my life He bled and died
Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied
He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life
He will hold me fast
'Til our faith is turned to sight
When He comes at last!
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Saviour loves me so
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Saviour loves me so
He will hold me fast

“When I fear my faith will fail, He will hold me fast..” Thank you, Jesus!!
Amen🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Jesus!
Thanks for sharing. Can relate as evidenced by the following sentences delineating how we use music to deal with pain and stir up faith. The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy.
The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below.
That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal.
GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.
Amen
Beautiful, my brother sent this to our family group text, he’s going through cancer treatment. God please comfort him. I love you brother, ❤️🙏🏻❤️
🙏🏻
Just looking at the bigger picture. When a person puts their trust in GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GUIDE AND COMFORT THEM in every area of their lives. With caps as emphasis, a prayer of surrender to GOD using JESUS CHRIST AS THE MEDIATOR to urge the broken, wounded, empty, desperate and guilty to be mended, healed, filled rescued, and pardoned by HIM.
On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
At church when we sing this song we sing the last chorus as "He will hold you fast" for all those who do not know Jesus yet. It's powerful.
I love all these comments. I listen to this hymn all day long. Thank you for listening to Gods voice when it was composed🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤😊
My Savior holds me fast, especially in this time of testing. When I am almost losing my faith He holds me fast.
Thank you Lord Jesus.I love you.
Just found this song; fantastic words! What encouragement in a dark time we are all living in now, especially here in Australia.
Hey David, please pray for my American born son living in AUS that he sees the light. Raised in a Christian home but has rejected all of it.
The lovely woman behind the singers wearing glasses wiping a tear from her eyes is how I feel listening to this 😢🎉For my Saviour Loves me so .
This song is my favorite from Selah! I remember how much Christ loved me and won't ever let me go! Thank you Jesus!
Philippians 1:6 And I am sure that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
You have a fabulous comment as it is the most biblical. Jesus never fails and never will let go of us; although we can let go of Jesus, the creator will never let us go, so tie a know, fast and pray, and hold tight
tears forever streaming! I cannot wait until that great and awesome day when i shall behold my sweet Jesus' face. Come Lord Jesus, Come!
Amen and Amen.
Amen. So come Lord Jesus, come...
During this time of an unknowable future, with so many suffering physically and financially, it is such a comfort to know Who holds me fast, Whose child I am, and that nothing- NOTHING - not plague, nor famine, nor war can ever separate me from His love. Jesus. My Savior. Thank you God.
Amen to that!!✝️⚓💗
Sang with them this Thanksgiving 2020 morning to start my time with the Lord...always brings humble tears that flow for Whose I am in Him 🎉🎶🎶💕💕🙏👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
".....Neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand....; And no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand."- John 10:28,29.HE WILL HOLD ME FAST.
I have so much respect for the members of Selah and their love for God.
2020 Jesus is holding me fast.
I can be assured that despite what occurs in my life, my Father God will be with me, Jesus will not abandon me, and the Holy Spirit will always be my Comforter.
Ich liebe dieses Lied, es gibt so viel Trost und meine Seele empfindet die Liebe Jesus. Er hilft immer, sage immer wieder mit geschlossenen Augen "O Jesus, ich gebe mich dir hin, sorge du!"
Writing this comment as an encouragement to others who may be going through a tough time. My dad passed away a month ago, this song was on repeat before and after he passed away. God does really hold us in his hand, even though there were countless moments you may not even feel that God is there for you, even when the doubts and troubles of the world overwhelms you, God held onto my family and I. I distinctly remember one night I was in tears and thoughts that said “God, I am merely a 21 year old, how can I survive without my dad whom is the sole breadwinner”. But how God is ALWAYS good and he has never failed me even with taking my dad home. Do not let go of God, because he will never let go of you.

Amen!
And THAT is His promise to us, and He will do it for each one and all, who put their trust in Him. Psalm 85:13 “Blessed are the Pure in heart..”
Love this song. Would be great if it had a verse that added "I will hold Him fast", as well.
He’s the Good Shepherd Who came to save sinners like me... I’m that sheep that strayed and He brought me safely home and someday I’ll dwell in His house forever. Glory!!
Standing with our Christian Brothers and Sisters in Ukraine. He will hold you fast.
I'm crying up a storm this morning resting on the truth of God's word and love. Thank you Keith and Kristyn. Thank you Selah.
brian heyward I first met the King as a college student in 1975. By His grace, I still walk with Him today. If I thought for one moment that I could obey and serve Him using my own strength, I would have wandered away long ago. Praise God for the wonderful truth proclaimed in this powerful soul. HE will hold me fast. I cannot listen to this song without tears of gratitude flowing, as my heart considers the Lord Jesus Christ.
😢😢such a song of comfort when the hurting seems unbearable
The world is growing darker by the day, in ways I never imagined I would live to see. I know that God’s Word warns us that all these things and more would happen before our Lord returns. I’m trusting my Lord. Thank you for this beautiful encouraging song reminding us that He will indeed hold me fast. God bless you and your beautiful precious family as you continue to trust and serve Him. ❤️🙏
What a powerhouse of a vocalist she is! All glory to God!!
Bought by Him at such a cost ...
O thank You LORD JESUS!

This has been on repeat the last month and with all that is going in the world right now, I am so thankful for the reminder that no matter what, He will hold me fast! Praying He helps me to keep my eyes on Him in this ever changing world.

"Wonderful, Merciful Savior" By Selah
More than likely, you will have tears.
This is a beautiful and very anointed song for us to listen to often.
Thank you Selah for your
beautiful ministry of
music to us
who
are in this world
but not of it.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the encouragement
found in this song. We will worship You now and forever.
Just what I need to hear through this very difficult season of my life.

a job injury to my wrist and hands holding on by the grace of God now and for ever more, I love that song, Christ will hold us fast, only him and him alone Amen🙏🙏🙏
*"He will not let my soul be lost..."*
Hallelujah!!

On my way to visit my baby dying in the hospita of brain cancer this song was a comfort to me. I was strengthened hearing it daily. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it
I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will hold you fast
There’s a rising trend of falling in love with real singers and bands like Selah and the Gettys who write songs of sound biblical knowledge and less of unnecessary embellishments to draw people. We are praying for growing impact across the world through your Christ-honouring music and ministry.
I believe, that "Christ will hold me fast!" 🙌🏼 Beautiful faith in this song of hope, such lovely voices too. 💌 God bless us all. 🙏🏼💯
This song is So beautiful… the only problem I have with it is that it ends…
Please pray for me I will be seeing a surgeon for a problem I am scared to death, nervous, anxious and cannot sleep I need peace so I can take care of my family I pray for healing or successful surgery and recovery. Thank you
I hope your surgery and recovery went well, friend!
8 am in that place where I desperately need him and he is holding fest.What can I do without Jesus christ? Thank you Lord for your unconditional Love ❤
Every time I hear this on my car Christian radio station I weep now is my favorite Christian song. He will hold me fast!
I don’t know what Songs we will sing to Jesus and our Great God when we worship at the Throne but I hope this is one! Imagine all of us in Heaven singing this to the Lamb!!!😢
That's a lovely thought. We'd sing it in past tense.... He has held me fast....
Yes LORD, what a day of rejoicing that will be!
Such a blessing the whole household has COVID and I know Jesus has us in his arms
God bless you, hope you all recover well 😘 xxx
May God heal all of you miraculously in Jesus Name. AMEN
Those 7 dislikes are ridiculous! You can't put a price tag on worship like this!
Let's assume they ain't christians
Maybe they are hurting and feel that God is distant ❤️
" May the Lord Jesus Christ be wherever you are, His gentle touch filling your heart, And until that day when you meet Him Face to face, may your life be filled with His Eternal Grace ! " Amen
This is one of the most reassuring songs I've heard. I'm nearing 69 years and as the years go by, this song will be there for me. Thank you dear Jesus!
I have listened to this over and over this week. And though I am hurting right now, I have felt the Lord holding me close and hugging me each time I listen to this. So well done!
Yes, indeed. He will be your peace in the storm.

In these troubling times Jesus will hold me fast. Forever and ever and ever.
I have seen other versions of this song-by other artists and with more racial diversity-but I love this one the best. I think the “racial” issue was just Satan’s way of trying to keep a lid on it. This one is the best ever! I listen to it over and over again because it speaks of worship to my heart.
Thank you Lord for holding us fast throughout the storms of life❤❤❤
This is one of the most beautiful comment sections I think I have ever visited.
Beautiful anointed music. Thank you for dressing up to honor the Lord. So tired of musicians looking like they are going to a baseball game!
No kidding. Im so tired of the skin tight jeans and open collars and chest hair.
And the torn jeans... What's with that?
It’s a pleasure to look at this people!
It’s unfortunately very few people understand of honoring God through their image. . .
Yeah that's what's important in life
I am sure Jesus does not care................
Live there but so do others who have lost all, even their lives. I needed to remember this today for myself and my prayers for others
Wow! These vocalists are so anointed! Thank you Jesus!!
When the people that you thought were going to be there treat you like a non-person, He is always there.
Yes, indeed our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ will always hold me fast whenever and whatever unexpected happening occurs. As in Psalm 125:1
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
IT IS MY DESIRE AND PRAYER, FOR YOU ALL ,BEFORE OUR LORD, THAT THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU, THE LORD MAKE SHINE HIS FACE UPON YOU AND HAVE MERCY ON YOU, THE LORD LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE UPON YOU AND GIVE YOU PEACE. AMEN.
All glory, honor and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ who makes this possible. Thank you Jesus. Without you there is no future. With You, we can face this world. You have me written on the palm of Your hand.
Lisa Artruc I love that scripture reference... and the one that tells me He’s given me a name that only He knows... Unbelievably grateful that He holds me, ❤️
