|
Put my feet in concrete |
|
Tie my hands behind me |
|
'Cause I can feel the pull |
|
Of the man I was before |
|
Put your blinders on me |
|
Wrap your arms around me |
|
'Cause I'm afraid that |
|
I might run right out that door |
|
If you don't hold me back |
|
Hold me back |
|
'Cause it's just like me |
|
To run from the one who loves me |
|
Father please, hold me back |
|
Be the strength I lack |
|
'Cause it's just like me |
|
To run from the one that I need |
|
Take the wind from my sail |
|
Throw the anchor over my rails |
|
'Cause I know I'm not always |
|
The quickest to concede |
|
When it's best that I fail |
|
Don't let my will prevail |
|
'Cause my salvation |
|
Is my magnificent defeat |
|
I need you to hold me back |
|
Because I was never able |
|
To save myself in the first place |
|
So why would I think I could do it now |
|
Left to my inventions |
|
And the best of my intentions |
|
We know I'd only destroy myself |
|
If you don't hold me back |
|
Hold me back |
|
'Cause it's just like me |
|
To run from the one who loves me |
|
Father please, hold me back |
|
Be the strength I lack |
|
'Cause it's just like me to run |
|
But you hold me back |
|
You hold me back |
|
'Cause it's just like you |
|
To run to the one who needs you |
|
You hold me back |
|
Hold me back |
|
It's just like you |
|
To love me better than I do |
|
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it |
|
Prone to leave the God I love |
|
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it |
|
Seal it for Your courts above |
