Michael Card I failed again to make the mark Lost my way once more I tried to do it by myself Like so many times before And now again I turn to You I'm hungry and confused By now my strength's dissolved away And I feel like I've been used Chorus If You leave me to myself oh Lord It will always be the same It's You who'll have to hold my hand And protect me by Your name It's You who'll have to hold my hand And protect me by Your name I turn and find You there for me You've been waiting all along The open arms, the sweet relief And You whisper me a song At times like these I ask myself How could I have ever strayed And forgotten all You've given me And lost sight of what You paid Chorus It's You who'll have to hold my hand And protect me by Your name
