"Hold Me, Jesus..."

My four year old daughter has fallen in love with Rich Mullins' CD "A Liturgy, A Legacy and a Ragamuffin Band." Her favorite song (which is also mine, go figure!) :-) is "The Color Green." We've been dancing to it a lot. So celtic and lovely. A marvelous song of praise and celebration!

I love the whole album though, and tonight the only song that keeps running through my mind is the beautiful, prayerful "Hold Me, Jesus." Sometimes I just need to hear and pray what it says. I post it here in case anyone else needs to hear and pray it too.

"Hold Me, Jesus"

(Rich Mullins)

Well, sometimes my life
Just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

CHORUS:
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart

CHORUS
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something
I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band
Is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

CHORUS
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace
