Hold Fast v3 (Remastered)

Slow Americana gospel folk ballad at 88 BPM in G major, Begins with warm fingerpicked acoustic guitar and sparse upright bass, Gentle brushed drums introduce a soft pulse, Subtle banjo rolls and airy mandolin fill space, harmonica adds expressive fills, Intimate male tenor with natural grit leads, joined by understated female harmony and background echo phrases, Small ensemble harmonies swell as arrangement gradually builds—never overwhelming, always organic, Roomy, analog warmth pervades the mix, Near the end, haunting strings rise, deepening the triumphant yet reflective mood before a delicate fade

When the night is long And the shadows bend There’s a voice that calls Me home again (home again) I have walked through doubt I have felt the strain Tried to bear the weight Of my own name But the Shepherd speaks Through the wind and rain Calls His sheep by name Again, again (by name) (then again) It’s not my hand Holding on (not my hand) He holds me fast (I am held) When my strength is gone (I am safe) He holds me fast When the night is long No one can take What He has claimed I am held In His strong hand (In His hand) (Safe in His hand) No thief can steal What Heaven keeps No shadow snatch His wounded sheep (Heaven keeps) The Father’s will The Son obeyed And all He’s given Will not be swayed (His forever) (Not be swayed) It’s not my grip But His promise (His promise stands) He holds me fast (I am known) Through the rising flood (I am loved) He holds me fast By redeeming blood Neither life nor death Nor height nor past Can separate What He holds fast (Nothing breaks His love) (Holds me fast) No power below No fear above No grave can silence His love (Your love) I am known I am sealed In nail-scarred hands Forever healed (Sealed by grace) (Kept in grace) What He began He will complete The Shepherd guards His wandering sheep (He completes) He holds me fast (I will stand) Till my race is done (In His hands) He holds me fast Till the Kingdom comes When I stand at last Before His face I will know It was always grace (Always grace) (From first light to endless day) From beginning To the end (I am His) He holds me fast (He holds me)
