Jesus, Hold Me Now
Finding Refuge in Brokenness: Jesus, Hold Me Now
Lyrics
Living on my own, thinking for myself
Expressing independence and self-reliance.
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth
Building things that won't last, pursuing temporary material gain.
Now the walls are falling down
Experiencing a breakdown of personal defenses or barriers.
Now the storms are closing in
Facing challenges and difficulties that are approaching.
And here I am again
Returning to a difficult situation or feeling stuck.
Jesus, hold me now
Seeking spiritual solace and support from Jesus.
I need to feel You in this place
Expressing a need to sense the presence of Jesus in the current circumstance.
To know You're by my side
Desiring assurance of Jesus' companionship.
And hear Your voice tonight
Longing to hear the comforting voice of Jesus.
Jesus, hold me now
Reiterating the plea for Jesus to provide comfort and support.
I long for Your embrace
Expressing a deep desire for the warm embrace of Jesus.
I'm beat and broken down
Feeling defeated and emotionally worn down.
I can't find my way out
Experiencing difficulty finding a way out of the current struggles.
Jesus, hold me now
Repeating the plea for Jesus to hold the person in their distress.
Curse this morning sun, drags me into one more day
Expressing dissatisfaction with the start of a new day.
Of reaping what I've sown, living with my shame
Facing consequences and regrets for past actions.
Welcome to my world, and the life that I have made
Describing the challenges of the speaker's own life.
One day you're a prince, and the next day you're a slave
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of life's circumstances.
Lord, I just looked up today
Reflecting on the distance from God's intended path.
And realized how far away I am from where You are
Expressing a sense of lost connection with God.
I don't know what else to pray
Acknowledging uncertainty in prayer and seeking guidance.
Broken at Your feet I lay
Offering brokenness and vulnerability at the feet of Jesus.
The life I've torn apart
Acknowledging the damage and chaos in the speaker's life.
Jesus, hold me now
Repeating the plea for Jesus to hold the speaker in their brokenness.
Jesus, hold me now
-Jesus, hold me now
-Jesus, hold me now
Reiterating the need for Jesus' comforting presence.
