Hold Me Near the Cross (Ballad Slow)

Verse 1

I come with empty hands

Dust on my knees

I brought my broken plans

And all my grief

The road was heavy on my back

Too heavy to pretend

But You were steady in the dark

When I could not stand

Pre-Chorus

So pull me close

When my faith feels small

Hold my face

When the tears fall

Chorus

Hold me near the cross

Hold me near the cross

Where mercy speaks my name

And love rewrites the loss

Hold me near the cross

Hold me near the cross

Till all I am is Yours

Till all I am is Yours

Verse 2

I know my hands can stray

My heart can run

But every step away

Is one too far from love

So here I lay it down

My pride, my fear, my song

If You will keep me here somehow

I know I'll still belong

Pre-Chorus

So pull me close

When my faith feels small

Hold my face

When the tears fall

Chorus

Hold me near the cross

Hold me near the cross

Where mercy speaks my name

And love rewrites the loss

Hold me near the cross

Hold me near the cross

Till all I am is Yours

Till all I am is Yours

Bridge

When the night is long

And my prayers run dry

When I cannot see

Let Your wounds remind

That You stayed for me

You stayed for me

And nothing in this world

Can take that from me

Chorus

Hold me near the cross

Hold me near the cross

Where mercy speaks my name

And love rewrites the loss

Hold me near the cross

Hold me near the cross

Till all I am is Yours

Till all I am is Yours
