Lyrics Kirk Franklin

Kirk Franklin

Hold Me Now

The spring of April's gone, the leaves have all turned brown

The children are all grown up and there's no one around

I'm lookin' over my life and all the mistakes I've 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 man, 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?

I know it seems like the storm will never pass

And it seems like the rain will never end

The Red Sea is in front of you

The Pharaoh and his armies behind you

But my brother, if you lift your head up to the sky

God has not forgotten you as His angels will camp around you

For He'll never leave you nor forsake you

His word is true, He did it for me, He'll do it for you

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 and cry

Don't you worry, God is faithful and he cares

Among the tears you drop and the pain you feel He's there

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

Even though you don't know how

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

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
