Still You Hold Me
Still You Hold Me
Intro
Ooh, ooh
Mmm, yeah
Lord, I’m standing here again
With my hands wide open
Choir:
You hold me
You hold me
Verse 1
I came in tired from the road,
Heavy heart and worn-out shoes,
Smiling just enough to hide
All the nights I barely moved.
I had prayers I couldn’t finish,
Tears I never let them see,
But somewhere in the silence,
You were reaching out for me.
Not every valley broke me,
Not every storm could win,
’Cause even when I lost my way,
Your mercy pulled me in.
Pre-Chorus 1
And I don’t know how You do it,
But You meet me every time.
When my faith is down to ashes,
You still breathe it back to life.
Chorus 1
Still You hold me,
When I can’t stand.
Still You know me,
Like no one can.
When the night gets cold
And my soul feels lonely,
Still You love me,
Still You hold me.
Choir:
Still You hold me,
Still You hold me.
Verse 2
I’ve been chasing empty answers,
Trying to prove I’m strong enough,
But every crown I ever carried
Turned to dust without Your love.
I was singing in the daylight,
But crying after dark,
Till Your grace came like a river
Running straight into my heart.
Now I’m learning surrender
Ain’t the same as giving in,
It’s just laying down my battles
So Your peace can enter in.
Pre-Chorus 2
And I don’t need every doorway
To open when I call.
If Your hand is on my shoulder,
I can make it through it all.
Chorus 2
Still You hold me,
When I can’t stand.
Still You know me,
Like no one can.
When the night gets cold
And my soul feels lonely,
Still You love me,
Still You hold me.
Choir:
Still You hold me,
Still You hold me.
Bridge
You were there in the midnight,
There in the pain,
There when I whispered
And called on Your name.
You were there in the breaking,
There in the fall,
There when I thought
I had nothing at all.
Lead:
And I should’ve been gone,
Should’ve lost my mind,
But Your grace stepped in
Right on time.
Choir:
Right on time,
Right on time.
Lead:
I’m still breathing,
I’m still singing,
I’m still standing,
’Cause You’re still keeping me.
Choir Vamp
Choir:
You never let go,
You never let go.
Lead:
No, no, no, no,
You never let me go.
Choir:
You never let go,
You never let go.
Lead:
When my friends walked away,
You never let go.
When my strength gave out,
You never let go.
When I cried all night,
You never let go.
When I couldn’t pray right,
You never let go.
Choir:
You never let go,
You never let go.
Male Lead Ad-libs
Lead:
I’m a witness, yes I am,
I’m a witness, yes I am.
If He did it for me,
He can do it again.
I’ve got joy in the morning,
Peace in the rain,
A song in my spirit
That survived the pain.
Oh, I’m not what I was,
But I’m held by Your love.
I’m covered, I’m carried,
I’m lifted above.
Choir:
Still You hold me.
Lead:
When I was broken—
Choir:
Still You hold me.
Lead:
When I was searching—
Choir:
Still You hold me.
Lead:
When I was crying—
Choir:
Still You hold me.
Lead:
Lord, You kept me.
Lord, You blessed me.
Lord, You never, never left me.
Final Chorus / Outro
Still You hold me,
When I can’t stand.
Still You know me,
Like no one can.
When the night gets cold
And my soul feels lonely,
Still You love me,
Still You hold me.
Choir:
Still You love me,
Still You hold me.
Lead:
Still You love me,
Still You hold me.
Choir:
Amen, amen.

You hold me still.
