Hold of Heaven

I was standing in the shadow of my fear
Carrying the weight of all my years
I tried to run, I tried to hide
But You were calling me back to life

Every lie I ever believed
Every chain that was holding me
You spoke my name into the dark
And suddenly my heart caught fire

When I’m weak, You’re strong
When I’m lost, You’re right here all along

I’m reaching for the hold of Heaven
I’m falling into grace again
Your love is wild, it’s overwhelming
I don’t wanna leave Your presence

You pulled me out of where I’ve been
You remind me who I am
I’m reaching for the hold of Heaven
And Heaven’s reaching back

I’ve seen mercy written on the cross
I’ve felt freedom even when it cost
Every tear, You didn’t waste
You turned my mourning into praise

I was dust, You breathed me in
You called me Yours, not what I did
I’m not ashamed of where I’ve been
’Cause that’s where Your love rushed in

I lift my hands, I lift my voice
I don’t have much, but I have a choice

I’m reaching for the hold of Heaven
I’m falling into grace again
Your love is wild, it’s overwhelming
I don’t wanna leave Your presence

You pulled me out of where I’ve been
You remind me who I am
I’m reaching for the hold of Heaven
And Heaven’s reaching back

If You’re not done, then I’m not done
If You’re still working, I will trust
Even in the waiting, I will sing
’Cause You’re still God of everything

I’ve got scars, but they tell the truth
I survived because of You
Every breath is evidence
Of resurrection in my chest

I’m reaching for the hold of Heaven
I’m falling into grace again
Your love is wild, it’s overwhelming
I don’t wanna leave Your presence

You pulled me out of where I’ve been
You remind me who I am
I’m reaching for the hold of Heaven
And Heaven’s reaching back

I’m not letting go
No, I’m not letting go
I’ve got a hold of Heaven
And Heaven’s got a hold of me
