Hold me tight as I hold You

Through the darkness, through the trials

Bring Your light, make me anew

In my angst and fear please come

Hold my hand and show me where

Your touch, Your presence, now I feel

Bring Your peace and loving care

Dear Jesus my love, my life is Yours

Lift me up and bear my load

Give me strength and calm my spirit

Guide me now, along Your road

I close my eyes and see Your face

Your smile, loving arms open wide

You know how I feel, my God, my friend

You welcome me to Your side

As I’ve travelled from there to here

I’ve seen so much and lived so well

Touched some lives and shared Your love

Now in Your presence I long to dwell

Bring me warmth and comfort Lord

Through my pain and thru my sorrow

Passing now from all life’s trials

Into Your peace, Your shining morrow
