Why are you striv ing
these days?
Why Why are you (Em7)try ing
as if to earn e grace?
To Why are you (Dsus)cry ing?
Let Me lift up your face.
Just don’t turn a (G)way.
Why are you look ing
for love?
Why are you still (Em7)search ing
as if to earn e nough?
To where will you (Dsus)go, child?
Tell Me, where will you run,
to where will you (G)run?
Why are you
’Cause I’ll be (Em7)by your side wher (C)ev er you fall, in the (G)dead of night, when (D)ev er you call.
And (Em7)please don’t fight these (C)hands that are hold ing you.
And (D)My hands are hold ing you.
Look at these hands
and My side;
they swal lowed the grave
on that night
when I drank the world’s sin,
so I could car ry you in
and give you life.
I want to give you life.
And I’ll be (Em7)by at your side wher (C)ev er you fall, in the (G)dead of night, when (D)ev er you call.
And (Em7)please don’t fight these (C)hands that are hold ing you.
And (D)My hands are hold ing you (Em7)by at My side, wher (C)ev er you fall, in the (G)dead of night, when (D)ev er you call.
And (Em7)please don’t fight these (C)hands that are hold ing you.
And (D)My hands are hold ing you (D)My hands are hold ing you.
’Cause I,
I love you.
I want you
to know
that I,
I love you.
I’ll nev er let you go.
Lord, Lord.
And I’ll be (Em7)by at your side wher (C)ev er you fall, in the (G)dead of night, when (D)ev er you call.
And (Em7)please don’t fight these (C)hands that are hold ing you.
And (D)My hands are hold ing you (Em7)by at My side, wher (C)ev er you fall, in the (G)dead of night, when (D)ev er you call.
And (Em7)please don’t fight these (C)hands that are hold ing you.
And (D)My hands are hold ing you (D)My hands are hold ing you.
(G)Here at My side, (D)My hands are hold ing you.
