Hold Fast

Whispers in the dark, knives behind my back,

Friends turned strangers, plotting every track.

Voices filled with lies, shadows closing in,

Yet I fall to my knees, let Your light begin.

I lift them all to You, Lord, even those who deceive,

I hold fast to Your hand, in You I believe.

Though my heart is heavy, and my spirit tries to break,

Your grace surrounds me, every fear You take.

Every betrayal cuts, but Your love heals deeper,

In my prayers I stand, my soul grows steeper.

Hands open wide, I let the hurt go,

Forgive them, guide them, let Your mercy flow.

I lift them all to You, Lord, even those who deceive,

I hold fast to Your hand, in You I believe.

Though my heart is heavy, and my spirit tries to break,

Your grace surrounds me, every fear You take.

Bridge:

Storms may rage, friends may turn away,

But I will stay in Your light, come what may.

Every step, every trial, I lay at Your feet,

With You, O Lord, my soul is complete.

I lift them all to You, Lord, even those who deceive,

I hold fast to Your hand, in You I believe.

Though my heart is heavy, and my spirit tries to break,

Your grace surrounds me, every fear You take.
