[Verse 1]
I was low in the valley
Mud on my shoes
Pocket full of trouble
And a heart full of blues
Then Your hand found mine
When I couldn’t stand
Jesus’ love held me close
Like a promised land
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I was shaking
Ooh, I was worn
Then I heard mercy
Calling me home
[Chorus]
Jesus held me close
Jesus held me close
When the night got heavy
Jesus held me close
(held me close)
[Verse 2]
Saw my name in the water
Washed in the rain
Every scar on my body
Got spoken by grace
Now I walk a little lighter
Even through the stone
’Cause the love I was chasing
Took me in His arms
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I was shaking
Ooh, I was worn
Then I heard mercy
Calling me home
[Chorus]
Jesus held me close
Jesus held me close
When the night got heavy
Jesus held me close
(held me close)
[Bridge]
I know the river gets rough
I know the road gets long
But Your love is a shelter
And Your mercy is strong
When I’m barely breathing
When I’ve lost my way
You stay right beside me
And You don’t let go
[Chorus]
Jesus held me close
Jesus held me close
When the night got heavy
Jesus held me close
(held me close)
[Outro]
Held me close
Held me close
Jesus’ love held me close
