I Need A Huggin’

By Johnny “Reb” Fulmer

Lord I’m calling on Your strength again
It’s been a terrible day
The burdens just keep piling on
But I keep trying anyway
Lord You promised not to give me
No more than I could bear
But You sure gave me my limit this time
Where do I go from here?
Lord I need a huggin’
It’s much worse this time
The harder I seem to try
The further I keep falling behind
I need you more now than ever
Just hold me I pray
Lord I need a huggin’
And make it go away
Lord You’ve helped me climb hill after hill
You picked me up when I fell behind
But it’s not a hill any longer
Lord You gave me a mountain this time
I can’t go on no further
So I’m back on my knees to say
If I make it up to the top this time
You’ll have to carry me the rest of the way
Lord I need a huggin’
It’s much worse this time
The harder I sem to try
The further I keep falling behind
I need You more now than ever
Just hold me I pray
Lord I need a huggin’
Make it go away

To hear Johnny sing that song just made me cry. It was so very real to me that day. As a matter of fact he was not going to sing that song, but for some reason he started it instead of the one he planned. He mentioned that had never happened to him before. Later I went up and told him it was because God wanted me to hear that particular song. It was just what I needed as I was in the middle of the death of my dream and the death of my mother. At the time I was so distraught over circumstances I had no control over, and Lord I truly needed a huggin’ that day.

Maybe you need a huggin’ today. The Lord is always ready to give you one. Even though He already knows what you need; He loves to have you ask Him. Why not pour your heart out to the Lord, again. He doesn’t mind, and He really does care.
