I failed again to make the mark
Lost my way once more
I tried to do it by myself
Like so many times before
And now again I turn to You
I'm hungry and confused
By now my strength's dissolved away
And I feel like I've been used

Chorus
If You leave me to myself oh Lord
It will always be the same
It's You who'll have to hold my hand
And protect me by Your name
It's You who'll have to hold my hand
And protect me by Your name

I turn and find You there for me
You've been waiting all along
The open arms, the sweet relief
And You whisper me a song
At times like these I ask myself
How could I have ever strayed
And forgotten all You've given me
And lost sight of what You paid

Chorus
It's You who'll have to hold my hand
And protect me by Your name
