Written at a time when I needed to be held because I am hurting
Hold me close, closer to your heart Jesus
Hold me close, with the storm raging around me
I know you will hold my heart when it feels like it’s breaking
Hold me close when my pain is too great for words
Hold me close because I know you’ll never let me go
Hold me close when this world is trying to distract me
Hold me close when questions fill my mind
Hold me close like only you can
You hold me close and whisper to me that I am loved
As I try to make sense of the pain I am feeling, you understand
Holding me close is what I know I need, but sometimes I get scared
Holding my heart, in the palms of your nail scarred hands
You tell me you want to hold me close
You tell me that you love me even when it’s hard for me to understand why
You tell me that I’m your child, but I sometimes choose not to accept your invitation
Tell me that you’ve been waiting for me to come back home
