Hold on to Jesus
Embracing Transformation: Finding Meaning in Surrender
Lyrics
I'm learning that nothing worth anything is cheap.
Realizing that valuable things come at a cost.
I'm learning the path is thin and the grade is steep,
Acknowledging that the journey is challenging and demanding.
And that the altars where we lay ourselves will crack when tested
Recognizing the vulnerability of self-sacrifice, which may reveal flaws under pressure.
And that there's only one that turns our hearts to gold
Highlighting a singular force that transforms and enriches our hearts.
(chorus)
Chorus introduction.
Hold on to Jesus
Emphasizing the importance of holding on to Jesus.
Tell Him about everything
Encouraging open communication with Jesus about all aspects of life.
Your dreams and your troubles
Acknowledging both dreams and troubles in the conversation with Jesus.
Pure hearts desire one thing
Expressing that a pure heart desires a singular focus, possibly the knowledge of Jesus.
And mine is to know You
Stating the personal desire to know Jesus.
Mine is to break down
Expressing a willingness to break down personal barriers or pride.
And shatter to pieces
Describing a willingness to be vulnerable and experience a profound transformation.
And lose everything I've found
Expressing a readiness to let go of worldly possessions or achievements.
I'm finding that I'm not who I once thought I was
Discovering a shift in self-perception.
I'm finding I'm powerless to obtain Your love
Realizing one's inability to earn or deserve divine love.
And that the only gifts I bring to You are rags and failures
Acknowledging personal shortcomings offered to a higher power.
Through a strange exchange You've made them myrrh and gold.
Describing a transformation where failures become valuable.
