Hold onto me

🙏 “Hold On to Me” — Extended Version

(Hook)

Yeah, I’m tryna hold on, God, can You hear me now?

Everyone around me always tryna bring me down

I know You’re by my side even when I can’t see

’Cause the world feels heavy, but You still carry me

(Verse 1)

People lookin’ at me like I’m less than them

Like I ain’t worth love, like I ain’t worth friends

And I try to stay strong, but it’s hard sometimes

When I feel like I’m losing to my own mind

I keep thinking I’m a problem, like I don’t fit in

Like everyone’s ahead and I’m never gonna win

But You’re whisperin’ inside, “Let go of your fear”

Even when I can’t feel You, I know You’re still near

I’ve been praying for a purpose, something I can chase

But it’s hard to see the truth through all the things I face

And I’m scared that I’m broken, scared I don’t belong

But You’re telling me the weak can still be strong

(Hook)

Yeah, I’m tryna hold on, God, can You hear me now?

Everyone around me always tryna bring me down

I know You’re by my side even when I can’t see

’Cause the world feels heavy, but You still carry me

(Verse 2)

I can’t find someone, feels like no one wants me

Mirror talkin’ lies, makin’ it hard to trust me

Every flaw I see becomes a storm in my head

I keep replaying every word that I wish I said

But You remind me that I matter, even when I feel low

You remind me that I’m loved more than I’ll ever know

And I know I don’t deserve it, but You give it anyway

Even when my heart is tired, You help me stay

Some days I wanna shut down, hide from the world

Like I’m too messed up, like I’m too unsure

But You lift me up slowly, piece by piece

Giving me a little bit of peace I can finally keep

(Bridge 1)

And I know I ain’t perfect, I’m far from it

But You see me as I am, and You still love it

So I’m tryin’ to keep faith when the world says quit

God, You’re the only reason I’m still fighting it

(Verse 3 — extended emotion)

Yeah, I hear them talkin’, sayin’ I won’t be great

Sayin’ all I’ll ever do is mess up and break

But You gave me this heart, You gave me these dreams

And I’m tryna chase ‘em even when they rip at the seams

I’m tired of pretending I don’t feel hurt

Tired of feeling like I’m less, like I ain’t got worth

But You made me for a reason, You made me to shine

Even when I doubt myself, You say, “You’re mine.”

Sometimes I wish I could see what You see

’Cause the version in the mirror don’t feel like me

But I’m learning how to breathe when the pain gets loud

Learning how to walk with my head unbowed

(Bridge 2 — soft & reflective)

And if I fall again, I know I’m not alone

You’re the light in the dark, You’re the path back home

So even when I’m lost, I’m still held by You

Even when I can’t love me, You still do

(Final Hook)

Yeah, I’m tryna hold on, God, can You hear me now?

Everyone around me always tryna bring me down

I know You’re by my side even when I can’t see

’Cause the world feels heavy, but You still carry me
