Father, Hold Me Now

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Lord I am falling down

Time and time again I search for love

In the arms of broken men

The first one broke my spirit

Used me for his own

Left me with this mental torture

Shivering to the bone

I thought I could recover

I thought that I could heal

I gave my heart to someone else

I thought his love was real

But just like all the rest

He turned and walked away

And left me in this darkness

Where my soul has gone astray

Pre-Chorus

Now the night is falling

And the panic starts to rise

I am terrified of silence

With these tears inside my eyes

If I am left alone

My mind begins to tear

I need the noise of people

Just to breathe the air

I am trapped inside this anxious mind

A psychiatric cage

Drowning in my own regrets

My sorrow and my rage

Chorus

I kicked away Your love God

I left You far behind

I am so unworthy of Your grace

But please Lord be kind

I lost my way in smoke and drink

I gave myself away

Can You forgive Your broken daughter

Please don't turn away

Oh Father don't forget me

Please don't let me go

My soul is sinking deeper

And I need You now

Verse 2

I made my parents' dreams a lie

I chased the worldly sin

I opened up Your wounds again

With the places I have been

I took the smoke I poured the drink

I tried to numb the pain

I gave my body to the dark

And walked out in the rain

Now every single night I shake

A panic takes my breath

This loneliness inside my room

Feels just as cold as death

Pre-Chorus

Now the night is falling

And the panic starts to rise

I am terrified of silence

With these tears inside my eyes

If I am left alone

My mind begins to tear

I need the noise of people

Just to breathe the air

I am trapped inside this anxious mind

A psychiatric cage

Drowning in my own regrets

My sorrow and my rage

Chorus

I kicked away Your love God

I left You far behind

I am so unworthy of Your grace

But please Lord be kind

I lost my way in smoke and drink

I gave myself away

Can You forgive Your broken daughter

Please don't turn away

Oh Father don't forget me

Please don't let me go

My soul is sinking deeper

And I need You now

Bridge

I am crying at Your altar now

I have nowhere to hide

The doctors and the medicines

Can't fix what's torn inside

I am a terrible sinner Lord

I ruined my own life

Please rescue me from all this fear

The torture and the strife

I don't want to be alone anymore

I cannot fight this fight

Please hold Your daughter's trembling hand

And lead her to the light

Chorus

Because I kicked away Your love God

I left You far behind

I am so unworthy of Your grace

But please Lord be kind

I lost my way in smoke and drink

I gave myself away

Can You forgive Your broken daughter

Please don't turn away

Oh Father don't forget me

Please don't let me go

My soul is sinking deeper

And I need You now

Outro

I am falling down

Again and again

Please heal this mind

Please end this pain

I am alone I am afraid

I am crying at Your feet

Forgive me Father

Make my spirit complete

Hold me Lord

Don't leave me alone

I am coming home
