Lyrics

**Verse 1** My friend—do you ever have a day—When the tempter comes—to shake you—in every kind of way? It’s always on a day—when your faith is fragile and thin— Hanging on by a thread—not even thinking about a win! Ohhhh Lord—on those days—it seems I’m never ready— But there You are—The One whose hands are always steady— Who will not let go or let me fall— Jesus—you are my all in all. **Chorus** To Him who is able to keep us from a fall— To Him who holds us blameless—because He paid it all— Our joy—He returns in the morning—our tears He wipes away— To the one and only guardian of our soul. And by Your glory—majesty—dominion and authority—we are made whole— Now and for all eternity, You are my King—You have rescued me! **Verse 2** Because You are who You are— There’s coming a day— Every power, kingdom, Every name—tribe and tongue under sky and sun—Will bow before You—the Holy One! All will kneel—before the God who would save all— If only on His name—all would call! Through the triumph of Jesus—His only Son. He delivered love and amazing grace, Meant for each and every one— Ohhhh——there’s coming a day—we will see Him face to face! **Bridge** Right now—and one day—forever more— We can only imagine what He has in store— When all the ages gone—and all yet to be, Goes to live with our Savior for all eternity— Oh bless the Father, Son and Holy Ghost— Each one loves us the most! **Final Chorus** To Him who is able to keep us from a fall— To Him who holds us blameless—because He paid it all— Our joy—He returns in the morning—our tears He wipes away— To the one and only guardian of our soul. And by Your glory—majesty—dominion and authority—we are made whole— Now and for all eternity, You are my King—You have rescued me! **Tag** Ohhhh——Let the redeemed of the Lord say so— Let all who know Him—go! To tell others about Jesus—God’s only Son— Who died and and now lives— Willing to save each and everyone!

To Him Who Is Able

Read together: Jude 20–25; Luke 22:31–34; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Psalm 107:1–2

Have you ever had a day when the tempter came at you just when your faith was thinnest? You were hanging on by a thread, not even thinking about a win. This song begins on a day like that. On those days, it seems I'm never ready—but there You are, the One whose hands are always steady, who will not let go or let me fall.

The song's title and chorus come from one of the most beautiful blessings in the Bible. Read Jude 20–25. Jude's letter warns about false teachers and spiritual danger. But he ends with this: "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence blameless and with great joy—to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time, and now, and forever. Amen."

Notice who does the keeping. Jude does not say, "Make sure you never stumble." He says God is able to keep you. Our security does not rest on the strength of our grip but on the strength of His.

Jesus showed this in a moment with Peter. Read Luke 22:31–34. On the night of His arrest, Jesus said, "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." Jesus knew Peter would deny Him three times that very night. Yet He prayed for him—and Peter's faith, though shaken, did not ultimately fail. The tempter came when Peter was weakest. But Jesus had already prayed.

The chorus says Jesus holds us blameless because He paid it all. We will not stand before God on the basis of a perfect record. We will stand blameless because Christ's sacrifice covers us. That is why Jude can speak of being presented "with great joy." There is no dread in that presentation for those who belong to Him.

The second verse looks forward to the day when every power, kingdom, tribe, and tongue will bow before Him. And it adds a gracious note: the God who would save all—if only on His name all would call.

The bridge admits that our imaginations fall short: We can only imagine what He has in store. Read 1 Corinthians 2:9. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him." Whatever we picture about eternity with God, it will be better.

The tag closes with a call to action. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Let all who know Him go! Read Psalm 107:1–2. Those who have been rescued are meant to tell it. If He is able to keep us, we should be telling others that He is able to keep them too.

If your faith feels thin today, take heart. You are not holding on alone. And if you have never trusted Jesus, He is able to save you and keep you.

A moment to respond: Read Jude 24–25 aloud. Write it on a card and put it somewhere you will see it on hard days. Then think of someone whose faith seems thin right now, and pray for them as Jesus prayed for Peter: "Lord, may their faith not fail."

Let's pray: To You who are able to keep us from stumbling and to present us blameless before Your glory with great joy—to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord—be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time, now, and forever. On the days our faith is thin, hold us with Your steady hands. Amen.

Our desire at UnrelentingJesus is that on your weakest day you would remember: you are kept by Him who is able—and He will not let you fall.
