Hold the Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's been a long year, like a sleepless night Jacob wrestled the angel–– I'm too tired to fight Every Wednesday for two years we've met I've showed you all my anger, doubts, and bitterness [Chorus] There was no judgment in your eyes: Just the silent peace of God That felt so real in you Will you hold the light for me? Will you hold the light for me? [Verse 2] And I stay up late, 'cause I cannot sleep Don't want to face the quiet–– it's just God and me 'Cause I'm waiting for the gavel, handing me the sentence down I don't believe in forgiveness, or even repentance now [Chorus] There was no judgment in your eyes: Just the silent peace of God That felt so real in you Will you hold the light for me? Will you hold the light for me? [Bridge] I want to feel redemption flowing through my veins I want to see with clear eyes, beyond lust and hate I want the war to be over, to know the good guys won I want love to hold me, to know I'm not alone Standing around a willow weeping, we were praying in the backyard (ooh) In the chill of the night, the friendship light reminded us who we are (ooh, who we are) [Instrumental] Hey, hey Who we are, who we are Will you hold the light for me?
