what do u say to a friend who is lying unconciously on the hospital bed?
so many comments being written and i thought nothing they say mattered because His life is in God's hand. yes, indeed some words of encouragement would wake the person up. what if he never does? saying things like i believe in and saying that u have a long way to go doesn't seem right when he's left with 12-24 hrs to live though it's something encouraging to the person. I would sing a hymn. here's what i'll sing.
He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
Refrain:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful foll’wer I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.
And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
