If I Could Just Sit With You Awhile

When my wounds don't heal
Lord I humbly kneel
Hidden in You
Lord you are my life
So I don't mind to die
Just as long as I
Am hidden in You
Cause I could just sit with You awhile
You could just hold me
nothing can touch me
though i'm wounded
though i've died
If I could just sit with You awhile
I'de need You to hold me
Moment by moment 'till forever passes by
When I can not feel
When my wounds don't heal
Lord I humbly kneel
Hidden in You
Lord You are my life
So I don't mind to die
Just as long as I
Am hidden in You
If I could just sit with You awhile
If You could just hold me
Nothing can touch me
though i'm wounded
though i've died
If I could just sit with You awhile
I'de need You to hold me
Monen t by moment
'till forever passes by
If I could just sit with You awhile
If You could just hold me
nothing can touch me
though i'm wounded
though i've died
if I could just sit with You awhile
I'd need You to hold me
moment by moment 'till forever passes by
moment by moment 'till forever passes by
moment by moment 'till forever passes by
