Hey y’all! And welcome back to the “LifeWithLiv” blog. Today, I’m gonna be talking about a LD (Lauren Daigle) song called “Hold On To Me” it was released February 26, 2021. – and it’s so heart-wrenching and touching (to me anyway). When I first heard this song, I was in a dark place where I didn’t feel God near or that it was too dark to see Him. I knew it in my heart that I wanted Him, but somehow, something was holding me back from getting to that place.

This song brought it all back to me! It was my cry for God’s hands on me, hugging me and holding my hands, saying to me, “I’ll hold onto you. Always.” This was my desperation, my cry, my fear of not seeing or feeling God near to me. I was drowning in a pool of my own sad tears, worries & heartache. I was wrecked. But the words the words that Lauren says, were life to me.

“I could rest here in Your arms forever
‘Cause I know nobody loves me better
Hold on to me
Hold on to me” that was the moment I knew that Jesus was holding on till the very beginning of my heartache. I knew I could rest in His presence for the rest of my life–especially in that moment.

This is heartbreaking, but so easy for me to believe. And that is this, “When the best of me is barely breathin’
When I’m not somebody I believe in
Hold on to me” especially as a teenager/young adult, it’s so easy to believe that you are not someone to believe in. That’s a battle I will continue to fight with for the rest of my life. But, I now know Jesus is with me in my darkest times, brightest times and weakest and most strongest times even when I don’t see or feel it. I know it!

Heyo! Thanks so much for reading. Means so much!! You can listen to Lauren’s song, “Hold On To Me” on all the music platforms.
