Hold Me Close

Hold Me Close Verse 1: The stars are glowing in the night, As I lie beneath them, reflecting on my life. As a child, I wondered where You could be, But now I see Your love all around me. Pre-Chorus: You calm my heart whenever You are near, Holding me so close, You bring me peace in the middle of the storm. Casting out my fear whenever You are near, A shelter for my soul when the winds were raging and strong. Chorus: You are my home; Your love always makes me brave. Hold me close, Lord, for Your presence will always be my strength. Now I've found my way home; You walk beside me every day. Hold me close, Lord, for in Your presence I am strong. Verse 2: Some saw my smile and thought that I was fine, Not knowing I fought the dark every night. Some laughed as I walked by and called me names, Believing they already knew my end. Pre-Chorus: I would have been lost if You had not stayed, With gentle hands You guided me all the way. Through every trial and every raging sea, You walked beside me; never let me stray. Thank You, my dear Lord. *Chorus* Guitar: Nameless Written, produced and performed by Richard Shekari
