Lyrics
Verse 1
Hold me...
Hold me now...
I keep my hands in prayer
So no one sees them shaking
I tell them, "I'm okay,"
While something in me's breaking
But God, You know I'm lying
You have seen me on this floor
Crying out the same few words
I cried the night before
Verse 2
I'm tired in a place
Where even sleep can't bring me peace
I close my eyes for hours
But the hurting doesn't leave
And I know You're still beside me
God, I know what I believe
I just need You to come closer
'Cause tonight I cannot breathe
Chorus
I'm sorry that I'm begging You
For what I begged before
I'm sorry all my prayers sound
Like me crying at Your door
But You said I could come broken
So I'm crawling back to You
Jesus, I can't hold myself tonight...
Please hold me like You do
Bless me, Lord
Please, hold me, Lord
Don't let me go, Lord
Please don't let me go
I need You, Lord
God, I need You close
Verse 3
I know I should be stronger
But tonight I'm not
And if my hands stop reaching
Before the morning comes
Please reach down and hold them, Lord
Please don't let me go
I wish that I could tell You
I was stronger than I am
That every time You test me
I still somehow understand
But some nights I'm just Your child
With tears all on my face
Asking if there's room for someone
This tired in Your grace
Bridge
So if You hear me crying, God
Don't wait until I'm done
I don't need an explanation
I just need to feel Your love
Put Your hand upon my head
Like a Father by my bed
And tell me I'm still Yours
When every hopeful thought has left
I don't need You to fix tomorrow
I can't even think that far
I just need You here beside me
In the darkness where we are
And if all that I can offer
Is a whisper of Your name
Jesus, please don't turn away from me
Because I came this way
Outro
If I fall asleep still crying
Wipe the tears I couldn't dry
If I never finish praying
You know what I meant to say
If my hands become too tired
Put Your fingers into mine
If I'm too weak to reach for Heaven
Jesus, reach for me tonight
Please
Hold me, Lord
Hold me, Lord
I'm still here
I'm still Yours
Hold me, Lord
Hold me, Lord
I'm still here
I'm still Yours
Hold me, Lord
Hold me, Lord
I don't need the pain explained
I just need You not to leave
The morning always comes...
You told me morning comes...
So stay with me until it does
And when I open up my eyes
Please still be holding on
Jesus...
Hold on to me
