Hold Onto Me

Hold me, God, 

Because I know I can let go. 

I know the tune of my fickle heart, I know the melodies where it begins to wander and the crescendos where my focus drifts. 

Hold onto me, God, 

And never let me go, 

Because I cannot be sustained alone, 

Although my flesh’s lies seem enticing, 

I cannot breathe unless you appoint the air to flow.

I hold onto you for dear life, 

I cling to your garment, 

Desperate for you to stay, 

Although you’ve already shown me you are never going away.

I can’t breathe without you, God, 

And I know apart from you I am nothing. 

Hold onto me, God, 

Hold me when I forget, 

Hold me tightly when the plates under my feet begin to shift and I don’t know who to trust, 

Hold onto me. 

I am holding onto you for dear life, God, 

Please don’t let go.
