lyrics

Verse 1
I never earned anything I wanted to keep
Stuff on my list seemed small and cheap
What sustains me I didn’t have to buy
But comes for free from my God on high

You see I’m filled with a hope He’ll never let go
Because he loved me first many years ago
When that perfect storm left me for dead
I heard His voice inside my head

Chorus
He first reached out and he won’t let go
He’s lifting me up and holding me close
Oh, He’s holding on
He’s holding on

Verse 2
I’ve been fooled by things that look like love
And feared things I shouldn’t be afraid of
I believed fancy lies that took me off course
I find my way back by a great and loving force

I’ve been around awhile and seen quite a bit
Seen the good, the bad and the rest of it
Whether God has been there, there is no doubt
But I was too blind to figure it out
