Hold Me Near Jesus

(Verse 1)
In the morning light, I lift my eyes to You,
Every breath I take, Your mercy feels brand new.
With each step I walk, I feel Your guiding hand,
Leading me through valleys to the promised land.

(Chorus)
Oh, draw me closer, Jesus, hold me near,
Drown out all the worries, silence every fear!
Stronger with each moment, brighter grows the light,
Walking in Your presence, everything feels right!
Yes, I’m growing stronger, day by day in grace,
Nothing can now separate me from Your embrace!

(Verse 2)
Your Word is like a fire burning in my soul,
Your love is making broken pieces truly whole.
I’m dancing in the freedom that Your cross has won,
Running this race with joy, till the journey’s done!

(Chorus)
Oh, draw me closer, Jesus, hold me near,
Drown out all the worries, silence every fear!
Stronger with each moment, brighter grows the light,
Walking in Your presence, everything feels right!
Yes, I’m growing stronger, day by day in grace,
Nothing can now separate me from Your embrace!

(Bridge)
Higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea—
Your love is changing everything in me!
I’m not who I was—I’m standing firm and free,
’Cause Your Spirit lives and moves right here in me!

(Chorus — building with energy and passion)
Oh, draw me closer, Jesus, hold me near,
Drown out all the worries, silence every fear!
Stronger with each moment, brighter grows the light,
Walking in Your presence, everything feels right!
Yes, I’m growing stronger, day by day in grace,
Nothing can now separate me from Your embrace!

(Outro — joyful and celebratory)
I’ll sing it out, I’ll shout it out, for all my days—
My heart is Yours, Jesus, I’m lost in Your praise!
Closer, stronger, happier—yes, it’s true!
I’m living my life loving You!
Yeah, I’m living my life loving you.
