Hold The Light

It's been a long year, like a sleepless night
Jacob wrestled the angel but I'm too tired to fight
Every Wednesday for two years we've met
I've showed you all my anger, doubts, and bitterness
There was no judgment in your eyes
Just the silent peace of God that felt so real in you

Will you hold the light for me?
Will you hold the light for me?

And I stay up late, cause I cannot sleep
I don't wanna face the quiet, it's just God and me
Cause I'm waiting for the gavel handing me the sentence down
Cause I don't believe forgiveness or even repentance now
There was no judgment in your eyes
Just the silent peace of God that felt so real in you

Will you hold the light for me?
Will you hold the light for me?

I wanna feel redemption flowing through my veins
I wanna see with clear eyes beyond lust and hate
I want the war to be over and know the good guys won
I want love to hold me and know I'm not alone

Standing round a willow weeping
We're praying in the backyard
And the chill of the night, the friendship light reminded me
Who we are
