Hold Me Back

Put my feet in concrete Tie my hands behind me 'Cause I can feel the pull Of the man I was before Put your blinders on me Wrap your arms around me 'Cause I'm afraid that I might run right out that door If you don't hold me back Hold me back 'Cause it's just like me To run from the one who loves me Father please, hold me back Be the strength I lack 'Cause it's just like me To run from the one that I need Take the wind from my sail Throw the anchor over my rails 'Cause I know I'm not always The quickest to concede When it's best that I fail Don't let my will prevail 'Cause my salvation Is my magnificent defeat I need you to hold me back Because I was never able To save myself in the first place So why would I think I could do it now Left to my inventions And the best of my intentions We know I'd only destroy myself If you don't hold me back Hold me back 'Cause it's just like me To run from the one who loves me Father please, hold me back Be the strength I lack 'Cause it's just like me to run But you hold me back You hold me back 'Cause it's just like you To run to the one who needs you You hold me back Hold me back It's just like you To love me better than I do Prone to wander, Lord I feel it Prone to leave the God I love Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it Seal it for Your courts above
