Hold Me Close
Folder:
God (Inspired by) This fear consumes me
but then I feel you near me
and even as I tremble
you soothe my nerves
with a whisper and a hug.
I’m so worried that my sins
are beyond Your reach;
that you’ve run out
of forgiveness.
Can you look past my lies
and the times I’ve hidden
from the beauty of Your face?
I stare in mirrors instead
preoccupied with the cracks
when You came to wipe clean
the reflected image.
Can you pardon me
my wandering lips when
I kiss Your tear-stained cheek?
Because I love You
just as you showed me to love
even when I dwell on
the temporary pleasures
of this world.
So hold me close.
Don’t ever let me go.
Because I can’t live without You.
