Big Daddy Weave Album: Every Time I Breathe Track: Hold Me Jesus
Hold Me Jesus Lyrics
(Rich Mullins)
Sometimes my life just don't make sense at all When the mountain looks so big And my faith just seems so small
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shakin' like a leaf You have been King of my Glory Won't you be my Prince of Peace
When I wake up in the night I feel the dark It's so hot inside my soul I swear there must be blisters on my heart
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shakin' like a leaf You have been King of my Glory Won't you be my Prince of Peace
Surrender don't come natural to me I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want Than to take what you give that I need And I've beat my head against so many walls I'm falling down, falling on my knees God please
And the Salvation Army band is playing this hymn And your grace rings out so deep It makes my resistance seem so thin
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shakin' like a leaf You have been King of my Glory Won't you be my Prince of Peace
Song Description: When you cover a song, particularly one by Rich Mullens, you want to make sure you don't take it to a place that the original artist never intended. You want to give it the respect it deserves. We used a children's choir and some violin. I think it stays true to the spirit of Rich Mullins, but it also stays true to Big Daddy Weave. (Mike Weaver)
