Jamie Grace - Hold Me Lyrics
Lyrics
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you, the way you
I've had a long day, I just wanna relax
Don't have time for my friends, no time to chit chat
Problems at my job, wonderin' what to do
I know I should be working but I'm thinking of you and
Just when I feel this crazy world is gonna bring me down
That's when your smile comes around
Oh, I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving you less
Lord, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh
Well ya, took my day and you flipped it around
Calmed the tidal wave and put my feet on the ground
Forever in my heart, always on my mind
It's crazy how I think about you all of the time
And just when I think I'm 'bout to figure you out
You make me wanna sing and shout
I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving you less
Lord, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh
I'm so grateful and thankful for all you've done
Wish I could tell you in a short story or poem
But all I have is my voice and this guitar
And you have my heart
Oh, I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, every day, every
I love the way you hold me, by my side you'll always be
You take each and every day oh-so-special
I love the way you hold me, in your arms I'll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love you more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving you less
Lord, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh, I love the way you hold me
Whoa, oh
Oh, I love
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me
I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me, hold me, hold me

Meaning & Inspiration
Jamie Grace’s "Hold Me," released on February 22, 2011, as part of her *Hold Me* EP, is a powerful testament to finding solace and strength in God's unwavering presence during times of personal struggle. The song delves into the raw vulnerability of feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, acknowledging the human tendency to grapple with fear and doubt. However, rather than wallowing in despair, Grace poignantly turns to the divine, framing her plea for an embrace as a deep-seated yearning for God's comforting embrace, much like a child seeks the security of a parent. This isn't just a casual request; it’s an expression of profound dependence, echoing David's cry in Psalm 27:10, "Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me." The central message resonates with the assurance found in Isaiah 41:10, where God promises, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Grace captures this very sentiment of needing that divine upholding when earthly support feels insufficient. The song beautifully articulates the spiritual truth that even when the world feels shaky, God remains a steadfast anchor. This is beautifully mirrored in Hebrews 13:5, which reassures believers that God will never leave nor forsake them. The act of being "held" in the song becomes a metaphor for spiritual safety, a surrender of control to a higher power who promises peace that surpasses all understanding, as described in Philippians 4:7. Ultimately, "Hold Me" is an encouragement for those navigating life's storms to lean into faith, recognizing that in God's grip, we find the true stability and comfort our hearts desperately seek.
