Hold My Heart

How long (F)must I pray, (C)must I pray to You?

(Am)How long (F)must I wait, (C)must I wait for You?

(Am)How long till I (Fmaj7)see Your face,

(C)see You shining through?

I'm (F)on my knees,

begging You to (G)notice me.

I'm (Am)on my knees.

Father, will You (G)turn to me?

Yeah. (C)One tear in the driving rain,

(Am7)one voice in a sea of pain.

(Fmaj7)Could the Maker of the stars (G)hear the sound of my breaking heart?

(C)One life, that's all I am.

(Am7)Right now, I can barely stand.

(Fmaj7)If You're ev'rything You say You are,

would (G)You come close and hold my heart?

(Am)I've been (F)so afraid, (C)afraid to close my eyes.

(Am)So much can (F)slip away (C)before I say goodbye.

(Am)But if there's no (F)other way,

(C)I'm done asking why.

'Cause I'm (F)on my knees, begging You to (G)turn to me.

I'm (Am)on my knees.

Father, will You (G)run to me?

Yeah. (C)One tear in the driving rain,

(Am7)one voice in a sea of pain.

(Fmaj7)Could the Maker of the stars (G)hear the sound of my breaking heart?

(C)One life, that's all I am.

(Am7)Right now, I can barely stand.

(Fmaj7)If You're ev'rything You say You are,

would (G)You come close and hold my heart?

(Dm)So many questions (Am)without answers;

(C)Your promises remain.

(Dm)I can't see, but I'll (E7)take my chances to (Am)hear You (G)call my (F)name,

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

(C)You hold my heart.

'Cause You hold my heart,

hold my heart.
