Lyrical Photographs: Hold Me, Jesus

Sometimes my life just don’t make sense at all
When the mountain looks so big
And my faith just seems so small

Glacier, Montana
September 1995

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

Shirley's collection

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
