In our journey through life there
are things we need to hold on to even when the going gets tough and there are things we need to let go ...
Hold on to what is pure and true
Although the world is enticing you
With pleasures that come and go
And embrace its fickle norms too
Hold on to commitment and fidelity
To keep your vows and responsibility
Betrayal results in shame and agony
In broken relationships and misery
Hold on to faith, hope and charity
To courage amidst the adversity
Although life’s road may not be easy
A positive view will lead to victory
Let go of conceit, pride and vanity
Of skepticism, anger and negativity
If you sow seeds of kindness today
You will reap good fruits in bounty
Let go of crippling fear and anxiety
They are toxic to health and vitality
The Lord offers peace and serenity
His presence amidst uncertainty
Let go of greed, deceit and envy
Cultivate gratitude and generosity
Our wealth isn’t measured by money
But knowing God is our sufficiency
