Hold Me Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Choir, Kirk Franklin] The spring of April's gone The leaves have all turned brown The children are all grown up And there's no one around I'm looking over my life And all the mistakes I made And I'm afraid, afraid (Listen) Somebody told me that You would wash all my sins (Hallelujah) And cleanse me from the scars that are so deep within So I'm calling to You If you can hear me, I don't know how (He's never too busy) I was wondering, can you hold me now? [Verse 2: Choir, Kirk Franklin] (You are the only one) You are the only one that's patient when I fall (And your angels) Your angels come to save me every time I call (That's why I love you) You don't laugh at me when I make mistakes and cry (You're not like man) You're not like man (You understand) You understand me See people change One day they don't like you, the next they do (You know that's wrong) I wish that everyone could love me just like You So here I am this sinful man peace won't allow I was wondering, can you hold me now? (Hallelujah) I was wondering, can you hold me now? [Interlude: Kirk Franklin] I know it seems like the storm will never pass And it seems like the rain will never end The Red Sea is front of you, and Pharaoh and his army is behind you But my brother, if you look your head up to the sky God has not forgotten you, and His angels will camp around you But He'll never leave you nor forsake you His word is true He did it for me, He'll do it for you [Verse 3: Choir, Kirk Franklin] To every broken person that may hear this song (Yeah, to every boy or girl) To every boy or girl that feels their smile is gone (See, I know) I know exactly how it feels to lay in the bed at night (All night long and just) And cry (Tear after tear), and cry [Outro: Choir, Kirk Franklin] (But listen) Don't you worry, God is faithful and He cares About the tears you've cried And the pain you feel is there (When you are weak) When you are weak that's when he's strong Even though you don't know how (I wish I could get a witness up in here, say what, say it) Yeah, yeah, yeah; yeah, yeah, yeah; yeah, yeah, yeah; yeah God can and He will hold you now (God can) God can and he will hold you now (No matter what you've done, God can) God can and he will hold you now (Don't you worry) Don't you worry, He can hold you now (Thank you, thank you) Ho, ho, ho, ho-oh (He loves you) Ho, ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-oh-oh-oh-oh (Hallelujah)
