being held

I like a wide range of music, especially when it comes to Christian music. The song I'm posting today is one that has always been encouraging to me. It describes the hurts and pains that we face in life and how at times we can feel so alone. There are others in life that have been through the same trials but none compare to what Jesus went through. He faced it all. He felt all the emotions we face. He has been there and He is there now to hold us and carry us through our struggles. How encouraging to know that the God I worship and love has experienced life as man and knows what I deal with day in and day out. I hope that encourages you too.

Hold Me Now
By: Kirk Franklin

The spring of April is gone
The leaves have all turned brown
The children are all grown up
And there's no one around
I'm looking over my life
And all the mistakes I've made
And I'm afraid, afraid
Somebody told me that
You would wash all my sins
And cleanse me from the scars
That are so deep within
So I'm calling to you
If you can hear me, I don't know how
I was wondering
Can You hold me now?

You are the only one that's patient when I fall
Your angels come to save me every time I call
You don't laugh at me when I make mistakes and cry
You're not like man, you understand me

See people change
One day they don't like You
The next they do
I wish that everyone
Could love me just like You
So here I am, this sinful man
Peace won't allow
I was wondering
Can You hold me now?
I was wondering
Can You hold me now?

To every broken person that may hear this song
To every boy or girl who feels their smile is gone
I know exactly how it feels
To lay in the bed at night
And cry, and cry
Don't you worry
God is faithful and He cares
About the tears you drop
And the pain you feel, He's there
When you are weak, that's when He's strong
Even though you don't know how
Don't you worry
Jesus can hold you now
