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…
