Hold Me

Hold me, Lord, this world is cruel and cold

I run to you

Hold me for I need to be consoled

Here on this pew

In your everlasting arms enfold me

Lord hold me, hold me, hold me

Hold me, Lord be my stronghold

Lord You are the treasure that I seek

Lord you are my strength when I am weak

For you hold me in the darkest day

Never let me go, here I would stay

So hold me

I am safe from worldly wiles  and ways

In your embrace

Held fast forevermore for all my days

Here in this place

Nothing can pry me from your hand

You raise me up so here I stand

Then I will rest in you at the throne of  grace

Lord You are the treasure that I seek

Lord you are my strength when I am weak

For you hold me in the darkest day

Never let me go, here I would stay

So hold me…hold me…hold me!

Be my stronghold…
