Hold Me Now

Kirk Franklin · Double Play [2010]

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 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 them

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 that 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've cried and the pain you feel is there

When you are weak that's when he's strong

Even though you don't know how



God can and he will hold you now

God can and he will hold you now

God can and he will hold you now



Don't you worry he can hold you now
