Song Lyrics

---

I don’t want to be here
It feels so far away from You
But it’s so clear
There is nothing that I can do
It’s hurting me
This distance I feel
And it’s lying to me
Saying You’re not real

So hold me even when
I can’t feel Your embrace
Watch over me even though
I can’t see Your face
Love me and guide me,
And pour out Your grace
Until the day You take
Me from this place

I don’t want to stay here
And I remain here only for You
You have made it clear
And I will do what You want me to
‘Cause there are times when I am sure
I can feel You next to me
And in those times I know for sure
That You are all I need

So hold me even when
I can’t feel Your embrace
Watch over me even though
I can’t see Your face
Love me and guide me,
And pour out Your grace
Until the day You take
Me from this place

Most of the time, this world just seems empty
And so many lives seem devoid of You
‘Cause I’ve felt alone for an eternity
Waiting for Your love to get through

But hold me even when
I can’t feel Your embrace
Watch over me even though
I can’t see Your face
Love me and guide me,
And pour out Your grace
Until the day You take
Me from this place
