Recently I bought a CD of southern Gospel music, and I play it often in the morning while I'm preparing to go to work. Because I am not sitting right there listening, sometimes I don't get exactly right what the words of the song are. I was hearing, "Grab hold onto the Lord." I thought that was a bit strange, so I listened again carefully, and yes, that is what I heard. So I finally checked the liner notes, and found out that I was very badly mistaken! However, because I had listened to the music so many times while hearing the wrong words, that is still what comes to mind first. "Grab hold onto the Lord." But maybe that is not such a bad thing, after all. The concept is certainly true, although not very poetic!
Moses instructed the children of Israel—and it goes for us too—"You are to follow only God, your God, hold him in deep reverence, keep his commandments, listen obediently to what he says, serve him—hold on to him for dear life!" (Deuteronomy 13:4)
