Curled in darkness, lost at sea Demons whisper lies to me Fear of dying claws my chest Body trembles, no more rest Tears fall silent, spirit cries Jesus, mercy! hear my sighs Soul full of troubles, grave draws near No strength left, consumed by fear Lowest pit, in darkness deep Enemy strikes while I weep Heart overwhelmed, turning cold Still I cry, O God of old! Mercy came on sheltering wings Everlasting arms draw in Crushing night begins to flee Morning stillness sets me free Peace flows deeper than the sea Love whispers, “Stay with Me” The Lord is nigh to broken hearts Saves the contrite, draws so near The Lord is nigh, He holds me here Holds me when the crush is near The Lord is nigh… He holds me… Holds me… holds me… Tomorrow brings what it may Valley, shadow, come what may Arms won’t loosen, peace remains Safe inside what He ordains No fear claims me in His way He walks me home, I know today The Lord is nigh to broken hearts Saves the contrite, draws so near The Lord is nigh, He holds me here Holds me when the crush is near The Lord is nigh… He holds me… Holds me… holds me… right here
