[Verse 1] God, I trust You But I’m scared tonight I’ve lived most of my life With him by my side Every old dirt road Has his shadow in mine Surely this can’t be The end of our line [Pre-Chorus] We need each other That’s the honest truth My heart keeps holding on To the life we knew I’m asking softly God, I’m down on my knees I’m begging for mercy Please don’t take him from me [Chorus] Hold him close, hold him close I won’t let him go Hold him close, hold him close I need him so If I lose my voice Keep my faith alive Hold him close, hold him close Let my love survive [Verse 2] He knows my laughter He knows my fear He’s known the answers When nothing was clear I’ve lived my life Hand in hand with him If he slips away now My flame will surely go dim [Pre-Chorus] We need each other That’s the honest truth My heart keeps holding on To the life we knew I’m asking softly God, I’m down on my knees I love him dearly Please don’t take him from me [Chorus] Hold him close, hold him close I won’t let him go Hold him close, hold him close I need him so If I lose my voice Keep my faith alive Hold him close, hold him close Let my love survive [Bridge] If Your answer is mercy I will thank you If Your answer is sorrow Then take me too I’ll still believe You Even through the ache But God, I’m begging Don’t let my whole world break [Chorus] Hold him close, hold him close I won’t let him go Hold him close, hold him close I need him so If I lose my voice Keep my faith alive Hold him close, hold him close Let my love survive
