You Hold Me Now
Hillsong United · Other Songs - Hillsong United
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace
All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
and forever I am free
Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven rise to You alone
No weeping
No hurt or pain
No suffering
You hold me now, You hold me now
No darkness
No sick or lame
No hiding
You hold me now, You hold me now
In this life I would stand
through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fades
Where Your name is lifted high
and forever praises rise
For the glory of Your name
I'm believing for the day
Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven rise to You alone
For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name [x4]
