Hold Me Now...

From the glass alabaster she poured out the depths of her soul
O foot of Christ would you wait if her harlotries known?
Falls a tear to darken the dirt
Of humblest offerings to forgive the hurt
She is strong enough to stand in Your love
I can hear her say...

I'M WEAK

I'M POOR

I'M BROKEN LORD BUT I AM YOURS

Hold me now, hold me now

let he without sin
cast the first stone if you will
to say that my bride is not worth half the blood that I spilled
point your finger and laugh if you choose
To say my beloved is borrowed and bruised

I can hear her say...

I AM WEEK

I AM POOR

I AM BROKEN BUT LORD I AM YOURS

Hold me now, hold me now
