Holding Hands

Its when I stop to wonder
Its when I stop to think 
How it makes realize
When I'm on the brink 
That all of us will suffer
That all of us will die
But holding hands we're stronger
So hold fast till daylight

The sunrise it is coming
Revives me through and through
But I know dawn does not last
The night will find me soon
And all of us will blunder
And all of us go blind
But holding hands we're stronger 
So hold fast till daylight

I held so tight to this world
Full of sighs and woes
But then you turned the tables 
And told me to let go
Of all the things I'd gathered 
and thought I understood
You gave me your hands, Savior
Nailed to a cross of wood

So place within these fingers
the hands that they should hold
place family and dear people
the young ones and the old
don't let me follow my heart
its wicked, dark, and blind
but holding hands we're stronger
so lead me to daylight
