O LOVE THAT WILL NOT LET ME GO…..WOW, HOW REASSURING
There’s an old song I used to sing. It had a line in it that said, ”O Love That Will Not Let Me Go.” Wow....what a powerful thought. Somehow it just popped into my head as lyrics often do. And it got me thinking. What a reassuring feeling to be loved with such intensity, with such depth, with such grace. A love that will simply not let me go. How comforting to have the arms of love wrapped around me in such a way that I can do nothing but rejoice, give thanks, and love back as I am loved. “O Love That Will Not Let Me Go.” Thank you
Thank you for your kind response and for the link regarding the author of the hymn. It was fascinating but sad, yet he prevailed because of the love that passes all understanding.
Love this hymn and your thoughts!

I too love the hymn. It used to be a very popular choice at funerals.
Quite a sad story behind its writing:
