nothing I can do (hold me, Jesus)

 

when my heart has had enough

and it won’t stop aching

and the things that I’ve been told

are meant for hurting and breaking

when the child inside me dies

and he can’t stop taking

hold me, Jesus

hold me, Jesus

there is nothing I can do …

 

when I want to love my wife

but it gets lost in second thought

when my children give me smiles

and I’m scared by what I’m not

when the boy inside me cries

and he can’t stop shaking

hold me, Jesus

hold me, Jesus

there is nothing I can do …

 

when I wish that You would come

and I can’t stop hoping

when I’m supposed to be a rock

but instead, I’m barely coping

when the man inside me tries

but he can’t stop blowing it...

 

then hold me, Jesus

hold me, Jesus

oh, hold me Jesus

hold me Jesus…
