[Verse 1] I don’t always get it right, I wander off the road Chasin’ my own way instead of layin’ down my load But every time I fall, flat on my knees in dust Your mercy finds me there, lifts me up with love and trust When the weight of my mistakes says I’m too far gone I hear You in my heart say, “Child, you still belong” [Chorus] God hold me close, when my faith feels small Remind me I’m never lost, You’ve had me through it all When the night rolls in and I forget my worth You call me Your child, the reason for this earth Through every high and low, wherever I may roam God hold me close, and lead this heart back home [Verse 2] When the shadows creep in like a cold front movin’ fast And the voices of my past start draggin’ me back You point me to that hill where the cross still stands Sayin’ love already won, it was written in Your hands Every tear I cry on these long and restless nights You gather every one, turn my darkness into light [Chorus] God hold me close, when my faith feels small Remind me I’m never lost, You’ve had me through it all When the night rolls in and I forget my worth You call me Your child, the reason for this earth Through every high and low, wherever I may roam God hold me close, and lead this heart back home [Verse 3] So I’ll keep walkin’ on down this narrow country mile Leanin’ on Your strength when I’ve run out of mine I don’t have to be perfect, just willing to believe That every mornin’ mercy’s waitin’ there for me And when my road runs out and I see Heaven’s door I’ll thank You for the grace that carried me this far [Bridge] You never turned away Not once in all my shame With scarred and nail-pierced hands You still call me by name I’m safe here in Your arms No matter where I’ve been Your grace keeps sayin’ “come on home” Again and again [Instrumental Solo] (Acoustic lead with soft pedal steel swells) [Final Chorus] God hold me close, when my faith feels small Remind me I’m never lost, You’ve had me through it all When the night rolls in and I forget my worth You call me Your child, Heaven’s song on earth Through every high and low, wherever I may roam God hold me close… You’re always leadin’ me home
