Hold Me Jesus

I heard a familiar song today - one that has encouraged me at several points in my life. It has been sung by several different artists, including Rich Mullins, Big Daddy Weave, and Rebecca St. James. If you are reading this, I hope these words will encourage you in whatever you are going through. This is the cry of my heart right now:

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.

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 shaking like a leaf,
You have been King of my glory,
Won't you be my Prince of Peace?

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

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

And the Salvation Army band is playing this hymn,
And your grace rings out so deep,
It makes my resistance seem so thin.

Hold me Jesus,
cause I'm shaking like a leaf,
You have been King of my glory,
Won't you be my Prince of Peace?

You have been King of my glory,
Come and be my Prince of Peace,
Lord, you are the Prince of Peace,
Come and be my Prince of Peace.
