Hold Me Close

Verse 1

Shadows falling down, I reach for your name

Hands lifted up, calling out the same

When troubles try to steal my peace away

You are my shelter, every night and day

Chorus

Jesus, you hold me close when the night gets long

When the world feels heavy, you keep me strong

Every tear I cry, you see and you know

You’re the steady arms that never let me go

Post-Chorus

Hold me close, hold me close

Never let me go, never let me go

Verse 2

Storms all around but your peace stays near

Whisper my name, and I lose my fear

When faith gets shaken, your promise remains

Love everlasting, it won’t ever change

Pre-Chorus

Even when I lose my way

I know you’ll be right here

You’ve carried me each day

I have nothing left to fear

Chorus

Jesus, you hold me close when the night gets long

When the world feels heavy, you keep me strong

Every tear I cry, you see and you know

You’re the steady arms that never let me go

Post-Chorus

Hold me close, hold me close

Never let me go, never let me go

Bridge

When silence falls and I can’t find the words

Your grace is a melody I know I’ve heard

Through every valley, through fire and rain

You lift me up and I’m whole again

Chorus

Jesus, you hold me close, you never let go

In the darkest hour, your love overflows

Each doubt and worry, you already know

You’re the steady arms that never let me go

Post-Chorus

Hold me close, hold me close

Never let me go, never let me

Outro

So I’ll rest in your love, I lay down my heart

Safe in your promise, right from the start

No fear can reach me, no trial unknown

Your hands remind me, I’m never alone

Choir: Refrain

Hold me close (hold me close), hold me close (hold me close)

You never let me go, oh, you never let me go

Hold me close (hold me close), hold me close (hold me close)

Jesus, carry my soul
