Lyrics
Well sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
Expressing confusion and lack of clarity in life.
When the mountains look so big
Feeling overwhelmed by challenges symbolized as mountains.
And my faith just seems so small
Struggling with faith, perceiving it as insufficient.
So hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
Pleading for support and stability from Jesus.
You have been King of my glory
Recognizing Jesus as the source of personal glory.
Won't You be my Prince of Peace
Asking Jesus to provide inner peace.
And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
Confronting inner darkness and fear during the night.
It's so hot inside my soul
Describing intense emotional turmoil within the soul.
I swear there must be blisters on my heart
Expressing emotional pain and vulnerability.
So hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
Reiterating the plea for comfort and support from Jesus.
You have been King of my glory
Acknowledging Jesus as the source of personal glory again.
Won't You be my Prince of Peace
Repeating the request for Jesus to bring peace.
Surrender don't come natural to me
Acknowledging difficulty in surrendering to divine will.
I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
Admitting a tendency to resist what is truly needed.
Than take what You give that I need
Choosing unnecessary struggles over accepting God's provision.
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Reflecting on past resistance and the consequences faced.
Now I'm falling down, falling on my knees
Embracing humility and falling on one's knees in submission.
And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
Noting the backdrop of a Salvation Army band playing a hymn.
And Your grace rings out so deep
Perceiving the depth of God's grace in contrast to personal resistance.
It makes my resistance seem so thin
Realizing the frailty of one's resistance in the face of divine grace.
So hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
Reiterating the need for Jesus' support during times of shaking.
You have been King of my glory
Affirming Jesus as the source of personal glory once more.
Won't You be my Prince of Peace
Requesting Jesus to be the Prince of Peace in one's life.
You have been King of my glory
Repeating the acknowledgment of Jesus as the source of personal glory.
Won't You be my Prince of Peace
Reiterating the request for Jesus to bring peace.
