Hold My Heart

Oh how I love this song!! There are so many songs recently that I have found speak to me in different ways. I listen to lyrics way more than I used to. And if you come here very often you know that I frequently change the first song that plays when you open up my blog (the playlist is at the very bottom of the page if you didn't know it was there...). For right now, it's this song:

Hold My Heart by Tenth Avenue North

How long must I pray, must I pray to You?
How long must I wait, must I wait for You?
How long 'til I see Your face, see You shining through?
I'm on my knees, begging you to notice me.
I'm on my knees, Father will you turn to me?

Chorus:
One tear in the driving rain,
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?
One light, that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You're everything You say You are
Won't You come close and hold my heart

I've been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes
So much can slip away before I say goodbye.
But if there's no other way, I'm don asking why.
Cuz I'm on my knees, beggin' You to turn to me
I'm on my knees, Father will you run to me?

(chorus)

So many questions without answers, Your promises remain
I can't sleep but I'll take my chances to hear You call me name
To hear You call my name

(chorus)

Hold my heart, could you hold my heart?
Hold my heart.

When I first read your post title, I was immediately reminded of THIS song (whose lyrical line "Warm my heart" I got wrong and thought it was "HOLD my heart"):

Hold Me Now - Thompson Twins

I have a picture
Pinned to my wall
An image of you and of me and we´re laughing
We´re loving it all

But look at our life now
We're tattered and torn
We're fussing and fighting, delighting with tears
That we cry until dawn

CHORUS
(Oh oh)
Hold me now
(Whoa)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

You say I'm a dreamer
We're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world
We know we'll never find

So perhaps I should leave here
Yeah, go far away
But you know that there's nowhere that i'd rather be
Than with you here today

(Oh oh, oh oh oh)
Hold me now
(Oh)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

Oh hold me now
(whoa)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

Whoa oh oh

You ask if I love you
What can I say
You know that I do and that this is just one
Of those games that we play

So I sing you a new song
Please don't cry any more
And I'd ask your forgiveness though I don't know just
what i'm asking it for

(Oh oh oh oh)
Hold me now
(Whoa)
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start...

(repeats til end)
