Verse 1
Lord,
I
come
before
You,
with
my
heart
in
my
hands,
There
are
days
I
don't
know
if
I
still
understand.
We've
been
through
the
fire,
we've
walked
through
the
rain,
We've
smiled
through
the
tears,
we've
hidden
the
pain.
Sometimes
the
pressure
is
more
than
I
can
bear,
Sometimes
I
feel
like
nobody
is
there.
But
when
I
look
around
and
I
see
my
family,
I
know,
Lord,
You
gave
them
to
me.
Pre-Chorus
So
I'm
calling
Your
name,
I'm
crying
out
to
You,
When
I
don't
have
the
strength,
Lord,
carry
us
through.
Chorus
Hold
my
family
together,
Lord,
When
the
storms
are
rising
high.
Hold
my
family
together,
Lord,
Don't
let
our
love
die.
When
we
don't
understand
each
other,
Teach
our
hearts
to
forgive.
Through
every
valley,
through
every
season,
Lord,
hold
my
family
together.
Verse 2
For
my
wife,
Lord,
give
her
strength,
When
she's
tired,
give
her
peace.
Heal
every
wound
between
our
hearts,
Let
our
love
never
cease.
For
my
children,
watch
over
them,
Guide
their
footsteps
every
day.
When
the
world
tries
to
pull
them
far,
Lord,
don't
let
them
lose
their
way.
Pre-Chorus
And
when
I
fail
as
a
father,
When
I
don't
know
what
to
do,
Remind
me
that
my
family
Belongs
to
You.
Chorus
Hold
my
family
together,
Lord,
When
the
storms
are
rising
high.
Hold
my
family
together,
Lord,
Don't
let
our
love
die.
When
we
don't
understand
each
other,
Teach
our
hearts
to
forgive.
Through
every
valley,
through
every
season,
Lord,
hold
my
family
together.
Bridge
Even
when
we
have
no
money,
You
are
still
our
Provider.
Even
when
the
road
gets
harder,
You
are
still
our
Guide.
Even
when
we
fall
apart,
Put
the
pieces
back
again.
Where
there
is
anger,
bring
Your
peace,
Where
there
is
pain,
bring
healing.
Lord,
let
my
children
see
Your
light,
Let
my
wife
feel
Your
love.
Let
our
home
become
a
place
Where
Your
presence
lives.
And
if
I
ever
lose
my
way,
Lord,
bring
me
back
home.
If
I
ever
become
too
weak,
Remind
me
I'm
not
alone.
Chorus –
Powerful
Hold
my
family
together,
Lord,
Hold
us
in
Your
hands.
When
the
world
is
shaking,
Help
us
firmly
stand.
Through
sickness
and
through
sorrow,
Through
the
good
and
through
the
bad,
Give
us
grace
to
keep
believing
In
the
family
that
we
have.
Hold
my
family
together,
Lord,
Let
no
division
win.
Teach
us
how
to
love
again,
Teach
us
to
begin
again.
No
matter
what
we're
going
through,
I
know
You
are
still
there.
Lord,
hold
my
family
together,
Hold
us
in
Your
care.
Outro
I
don't
ask
for
a
perfect
life,
I
only
ask
You,
Lord,
Give
me
strength
to
protect
my
home,
Give
me
wisdom
to
love
them
more.
My
wife...
My
children...
My
family...
They
are
gifts
from
You.
So
when
I
cannot
hold
them,
You
hold
them.
When
I
cannot
fix
it,
You
fix
it.
When
I
cannot
see
tomorrow,
You
make
a
way.
Lord,
no
matter
what
we
go
through...
Hold
my
family
together.
Hold
my
family
together.
Hold
my
family
together.
Amen.
