Lyrics

How long (F)must I pray,

(C)must I pray to You?

How long (F)must I wait,

(C)must I wait for You?

How long till I (Fmaj7)see Your face,

(C)see You shin ing through?

I’m (F)on my knees,

beg ging You to (G)no tice me.

I’m (Am)on my knees.

Fa ther, will You (G)turn to me?

Yeah.

One tear in the driv ing rain,

one voice in a sea of pain.

Could the Mak er of the stars

hear the sound of my break ing heart?

One life, that’s all I am.

Right now, I can bare ly stand.

If You’re ev ’ry thing You say You are, would You come close and hold my heart?

I’ve been (F)so a fraid, a (C)fraid to close my eyes.

So much can (F)slip a way be (C)fore I say good bye.

But if there’s no (F)oth er way,

(C)I’m done ask ing why.

’Cause I’m (F)on my knees,

beg ging You to (G)turn to me.

I’m (Am)on my knees.

Fa ther, will You (G)run to me?

Yeah.

One tear in the driv ing rain,

one voice in a sea of pain.

Could the Mak er of the stars

hear the sound of my break ing heart?

One life, that’s all I am.

Right now, I can bare ly stand.

If You’re ev ’ry thing You say You are, would You come close and hold my heart?

So man y ques tions (Am)with out an swers; Your prom is es re main.

I can’t see, but I’ll (E7)take my chanc es to (Am)hear You (G)call my (F)name,

to (Am)hear you (G)call my (Fmaj7)name.

You hold my heart.

’Cause You hold my heart,

hold my heart.

About “Hold My Heart”

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Hold My Heart" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 60 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
