Hold Me Close
Embraced by Grace: A Soul's Journey in 'Hold Me Close'
Lyrics
I see the new sun risin'
I witness a new day starting
The day is dawning on, overwhelming on
The daybreak is intense, overwhelming
A long lost soul
Referring to a soul that has been lost for a long time
You come to me over the horizon
You approach me from the distant horizon
No more barriers between my skin
No more obstacles separating us
And heaven's door
Alluding to the proximity to heaven's entrance
I'm amazed at the way that you love me
Expressing awe at the way you love
You know who I am, what I've done, where I've been
Acknowledging knowledge of one's identity, actions, and history
And still you hold me
Despite everything, there's an embrace
Oh, lord you hold me close
Seeking the closeness and protection of the Lord
Hold me close
A repetition emphasizing the plea to be held close
Lord, I hear you callin'
Acknowledging the divine call
You say let me take your burden, son
The request to let go of burdens and trust
Have faith in me
An appeal to have faith in the divine
I'll carry you over this mountain
A promise to carry through challenges
There's no enemy that can stand in our way now
Assurance that no adversary can hinder
Just believe
Encouragement to believe in the divine power
I'm amazed at the way that you love me
Reiteration of amazement at divine love
You know who I am, what I've done, where I've been
Knowledge of one's identity and history reiterated
And still you hold me
Despite awareness, there's continued divine embrace
Oh, lord you hold me close
Seeking the ongoing closeness and protection of the Lord
Hold me close
Repeating the plea to be held close
I'm amazed at the way that you love me
Expressing ongoing awe at divine love
You know who I am, what I've done, where I've been
Reiterating knowledge of identity and history
And still you hold me
Despite awareness, the plea for continued embrace
Oh, lord you hold me close
Seeking ongoing closeness and protection of the Lord
Hold me close
Repeating the plea for continued closeness
I know that you'll never forsake me
Expressing confidence in divine loyalty
You know who I am, what I've done, where I've been
Reiterating knowledge of identity and history
And still you hold me
Despite awareness, the plea for continued embrace
Oh, lord you hold me close
Seeking ongoing closeness and protection of the Lord
Hold me close
Repeating the plea for continued closeness
