Hold Me Back · letra

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
