Hold Me Now

(album: The Nu Nation Project - 1998)

The spring of April's gone
The leaves have all turned brown
The children are all grown up
And there's no one around

I'm looking over my life
And all the mistakes I've made
And I'm afraid, afraid

But listen
Somebody told me that You would wash all my sins
Hallelujah
And cleanse me from the scars that are so deep within

So I'm calling to You
If you can hear me
I don't know how
He's never too busy
I was wondering can you hold me now

You are the only one
You are the only one that's patient when I fall
And Your angels
Your angels come to save me every time I call
That's why I love you

You don't laugh at me when I make mistakes and cry
You're not like man
You're not like man
You understand
You understand me

See, people change one day
They don't like you the next they do
Know that's true

I wish that everyone could love me just like You
So here I am this sinful man peace won't allow
I was wondering can you hold me now
Hallelujah
I was wondering can you hold me now

I know it seems like the storm will never pass
And it seems like the rain will never end
The Red Sea is in front of you, Pharaoh and his army is behind you
But, my brother, if you look your head up to the sky
God is not forgotten you
And his angels will camp around you
For he'll never leave you not forsake you..
His word is true..
He did it for me, he'll do it for you

To every broken person that may hear this song
To every boy or girl
To every boy or girl that feels their smile is gone

See, I know
I know exactly how it feels to lay in the bed at night
All night long
And cry
Tear after tear
And cry

But listen
Don't you worry God is faithful and He cares
'Cause that's above the tears you drop and the pain you feel
He's there
Hallelujah

When you are weak
When you are weak that's when he's strong
Even though you don't know how
I wish I could get a witness up in here somewhere
Say it!
Yeah...Yeah...Yeah
Yeah...Yeah...Yeah
Yeah...Yeah...Yeah
Yeah!

God can and he will hold you now
God can and he will hold you now
No matter what you've done
God can and he will hold you now

Don't you worry
Don't you worry he can hold you now

Thank you
Thank you
He loves you
Hallelujah
