Hold Me

The rain falls hard upon the ground

And though I try, you are not found.

I’m on my knees, heart crying out!

Please, I beg you, fend off my doubt.

The sky above is clouded grey,

So darkness surrounds me on my way.

“Here I am!” My deepest cry.

Hold me up, don’t let me die.

Alone, my failures will return,

And every night my eyes will burn.

Blindly reaching out to you;

Other friends are now so few.

And in the storm you shall appear,

Advancing upon my every fear.

You take my hand and wipe my face

And present before me living Grace.

And though the rain still soaks the land,

Together we walk, hand in strong hand.
