Five Minute Friday (on Saturday): keep

He’s the One who keeps,
and He never sleeps,
and nothing and no one can snatch or sweep
us from His hand.

He’s the One who keeps
our tears when we weep,
and I know that whether I fall or leap
I’m caught in His hand.

He’s the One who keeps,
and He also reaps
a harvest of souls He snatched from the deeps
of sin with His nail-marked hand.

For His keeping, praise Him.

When you’re stumped on a Five Minute Friday, you just make a list of rhyming words, and then you string them together and end up taking too long writing something in a style not usual to you. And then you link with Kate Motaung and her crew and call it a “Friday” on Saturday. The button above will take you to her site.
