Hold on to You

If You would bless me, if there’s any way that You could
If You the Maker would not be a stranger,
I’ll hold on to You and I’m not gonna let go, Lord

I’ll cross the river leaving all that I know,
I’ll build an altar with my pain and my sorrow
Though my mother lays me down to weep,
Though my brother slays me in my sleep, Oh Lord

I’ll hold on to You and I’m not gonna let go..

I only knew You like a ghost at my bedside
But then You caught me like a thief in the twilight
And You changed my name and I limped away
like a prisoner on a holiday, Lord

I’ll hold on to You and I’m not gonna let go..

If I leave everything, will You meet me in the way You promised?
Elohim, Elohim, are You waiting for me, Elohim?

I see Your face now in the sky and the river
And in the stones I piled high to remember
And Your children shine out like the stars
But we need You to tell us who we really are some days

So I’ll hold on to You and I’m not gonna let go..
