Vicki Yohe - He Holds Me Lyrics
Lyrics
When I'm in his arms
Sweet security
Nothing in this world
Will ever harm me
Love overflowing
Gentleness I find
Peace that passeth all understanding
A hope for my helplessness
And the peace for a troubled mind
He holds me close
When I need blessed assurance
He whispers you're never alone
And there've been times
I felt untouchable
Just needing a friend
That's when he holds me close.
I'll never let you go
I've finally found my place
The brokenness you fixed
Disappointments erased
Love overflowing
Gentleness I find
Peace that passeth all understanding
Here is where I'll stay
In the comfort of your faithfulness
He holds me... never let me go...my comforter...
My savior...he holds me close...
He'll never let me go...

Because of Who you Are-Vicki Yohe
Meaning & Inspiration
Vicki Yohe's "He Holds Me," released on March 29, 2008, as part of her album *Because of Who You Are*, is a powerful declaration of unwavering reliance on God's steadfast love and presence, particularly during times of personal struggle. The song speaks to the deep comfort found in knowing that even when we feel overwhelmed or incapable, God's strength sustains us. This resonates with the profound truth found in Psalm 55:22, which encourages us to "cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." Yohe's message is not merely one of passive surrender, but of active faith, recognizing that in our weakness, His power is made perfect. This echoes the sentiment in 2 Corinthians 12:9, where Paul writes, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." The song beautifully articulates a spiritual reality: that our ability to stand firm, to overcome, and to continue walking in faith is not a testament to our own fortitude, but to the divine embrace that surrounds and upholds us. It paints a vivid picture of a God who actively intervenes, a protector and provider, much like the Psalmist describes in Psalm 121:3, "He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber." The enduring message of "He Holds Me" is one of hope and assurance, reminding believers that the very foundation of their walk with God is His unshakeable grip on their lives, a grip that offers not just security but also the very grace needed to navigate every season.
