OFFERTORY He Will Hold Me Fast Ada Ruth Habershon, Matthew Merker Arr by Jeff Moore
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. (Chorus) He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast; For my Savior 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. (Chorus) 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 ‘Till our faith is turned to sight When he comes at last! (Chorus)

If you’re new to our church, we want your visit to be worshipful, informative, and comfortable. Along with the worship service, there are many other resources available including Sunday School for nursery through 5th grade, youth ministries, and adult classes. They’re a great way to more intimately find the pulse of who we are as a church and connect with others. Just ask any one of our greeters to direct the way. You can find much more on our website at graceevan.org. We’re glad to have you.
