Hold Them Close

(album: Unashamed - 2015)

I know I shouldn't want
Any more than what I've got
When I think about what's missing
Seems like a lot
But then I looked into their eyes
And see my children smile
I realize what I've been given
I have more than I have not

Where I am today
Didn't happen by mistake
You're brought me here
Where I'm supposed to be
Time will sleep away
But God don't let me waste
A second of today
Not a second, one second

I'm gonna hold them close
Every memory, every little bit
And I won't let go
Everything I need is right in front of me
You've given me what matters the most
So let me hold them close

I feel the grace of God
When my wife is by my side
A treasure I could never earn
No matter how hard I try
I take a look at the past
That brought us where we are
All I see is your faithfulness
That's carried us this far

Time will sleep away
I'm so thankful for today
So God don't let me waste
One second, not a second

I'm gonna hold them close
Every memory, every little bit
And I won't let go
Everything I need is right in front of me
You've given me what matters the most
So let me hold them close

So let me hold them close

Everything that you have done
Everything you're given us
Every good from you
Gonna hold them close

Everything that you have done
Everything you're given us
Every gift from you
Gonna hold them close

I'm gonna hold them close
Every memory, every little bit
And I won't let go
Everything I need is right in front of me
You've given me what matters the most
So let me hold them close
Let me hold them close
