Holding My Heart

My walk is insideme
A tenuous stream
Not water but heartbeats
Pulsing mymeaning
A rush like a river
A run frommysource
Desire invents it
And pride makes it worse

Knowingmynature
And knowing that sometimes
With life's complications
Emotions run wild
I need You holding myheart

If I fall on the journey
A limp seems to shame
But defences are crutches
That are keeping me lame

So I've got to have you
Like music must play
Like night needs the day for definition
And can't get away

Knowing my nature
And knowing that now and then
I'm prone to be restless
And given to sin
I need You holding my heart

Not knowing the future
And knowing thepast
May burn in my memory
And threaten to last
I need You holding my heart
I need You holding my heart
