Hold Me Up
(Rich Mullins, 1980)
Hold me up 'til the morning with a love that is keeping me alive!
Love is the prize-and worry is the warning come to tell me that the darkness has crept inside.
Hold me up 'til the morning. Help me shut out the dizzying noise.
Hear the voice... still small amidst the storming.
Help me press on... press on until tomorrow's joy.
I'm seeing in you the things that He has shown.
Always new. And, it's almost always growin'.
It gets me through. You know, it teaches me to trust.
It shows me how to work through a world of lies, 'til I arrive at love!
Hold me up 'til the morning with a love that is keeping me alive!
Love is the prize-and worry is the warning come to tell me that the darkness has crept inside.
Hold me up 'til the morning. Help me shut out the dizzying noise.
Hear the voice... still small amidst the storming.
Help me press on... press on until tomorrow's joy.
You have been warm as a blanket to me.
I'm wearing thin-you wrap yourself around to save the heat.
And, if I sin, you're there to convict me of what is good.
And, you make me face the facts. And, you're getting me back to doin' it.
Hold me up 'til the morning with a love that is keeping me alive!
Love is the prize-and worry is the warning come to tell me that the darkness has crept inside.
Hold me up 'til the morning. Help me shut out the dizzying noise.
Hear the voice... still small amidst the storming.
Help me press on... press on until tomorrow's joy.
I thank the Good Shepherd for leading me to you!
You're a greener field than I have known and a more refreshing pool.
There'll come a season, I know that I'll be led away.
But, for now your kindness fills me with the strength I'll need that day!
Hold me up 'til the morning with a love that is keeping me alive!
Love is the prize-and worry is the warning come to tell me that the darkness has crept inside.
Hold me up 'til the morning. Help me shut out the dizzying noise.
Hear the voice... still small amidst the storming.
Help me press on... press on until tomorrow's joy.
