"Hold My Heart" lyrics - TENTH AVENUE NORTH

TENTH AVENUE NORTH
"Hold My Heart"
(Mike Donehey / Jason Ingram / Phillip LaRue)

How long must I pray
Must I pray to You
How long must I wait
Must I wait for You
How long till I see Your face
See You shining through

[Pre-Chorus:]
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 dropping rain
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart
One life, 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 done asking why

[Pre-Chorus:]
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 dropping rain
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart
One life, 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

[Bridge:]
So many questions without answers
Your promises remain
I can't see but I'll take my chances
To hear you call my name
To hear you call my name

[Chorus:]
One tear in the dropping rain
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking 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
Hold my heart
Could You hold my heart
Hold my heart
