Lord hold me close and let me rest
Let my head lean on your chest
Till my breath comes soft and slow
Till all troubles are far below
Lord please hold me close to you
Wrap me in your warm embrace
Give me just a glimpse of your grace
Let your love be my life and light
Let your grace alter my sight
Lord please hold me close to you
Teach to me to reach out for you
To those around who so need you
Let my fears all fall away
Let courage hold me sway
Lord please hold me close to you
Let my life to the world be light
Let my words ever lead a’right
Let my needs be met in you
Let me ever be faithful and true
Lord please hold me close to you
And if I die before I wake
I pray you Lord my soul to take
And let your light through us live on
Till all on earth have heard your song
Lord please hold us close to you.
