Hold Me Jesus


Such a beautiful song by Rich Mullins...how many times can I play it in a row? Countless...

Hold Me Jesus

"Well, sometimes my life just don't make sense at all,
when the mountains look so big and my faith just seems so small.
So hold me Jesus, cause I'm shakin' like a leaf
You have been King of my Glory
Won't you be my Prince of Peace?

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark,
it's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart.

So hold me Jesus, cause I'm shakin like a leaf
You have been King of my Glory
Won't you be my Prince of Peace?

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want
Then take what you give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down
I'm falling on my knees

And this salvation army band is playing this hymn
And your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so small

So hold me Jesus, cause I'm shakin like a leaf
You have been King of my Glory
Won't you be my Prince of Peace?

I'm singin' hold me Jesus, cause I'm shakin like a leaf
You have been King of my Glory
Won't you be my Prince of Peace?"

A Blessing

"It is a blessed thing to know that no power on earth, no temptation, no human frailty can dissolve what God holds together."

Hold me together God. Hold me together.
