In God's Right Hand

Yesterday morning, at the Downtown Church of Christ where I attend in Searcy, Arkansas, we sang the song Whom Shall I Fear?

The song was sung as a prayer in honor of the Waldron family—a special request for Hayley Waldron whose husband Harrison is in a coma following a traumatic brain injury in a four-wheeler accident just over a month ago.

The Waldron family has always been special to me since we have worked together in one missions context or another starting back in 1999. Phil and Donna Waldron (Harrison's parents) and I were part of a team that was going to start a church in Bogotá, Colombia, and while that team never materialized, we worked together in Cozumel, México, to establish a new work there. Last November, I had the privilege of conducting a seminar where they currently serve with Mission UpReach in Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras.

The song is one of my favorites, but I found myself singing with even more conviction Sunday morning for the Waldron family and for others who long to remember the promises reflected in the words to that song.

The sentiment expressed in the lyrics echoes many of the promises found in God’s right hand and are ones that I cling to often (expounded upon in the book, In God’s Right Hand: Whom Shall I Fear?)

So, in honor of the Waldron family, I would like to simply paste below the lyrics to that song as a prayer for today.
