[Verse 1] Hold me Like the River Jordan And I will then say to thee You are my friend Carry me Like you are my brother Love me like a mother Will you be there? [Verse 2] Weary Tell me will you hold me When wrong, will you scold me When lost will you find me? But they told me A man should be faithful And walk when not able And fight till the end But I'm only human [Verse 3] Everyone's taking control of me Seems that the world's Got a role for me I'm so confused Will you show to me You'll be there for me And care enough to bear me (Hold me) (Lay your head lowly) (Softly then boldly) (Carry me there) (Lead me) (Love me and feed me) (Kiss me and free me) (I will feel blessed) (Carry) (Carry me boldly) (Lift me up slowly) (Carry me there) (Save me) (Heal me and bathe me) (Softly you say to me) (I will be there) (Lift me) (Lift me up slowly) (Carry me boldly) (Show me you care) (Hold me) (Lay your head lowly) (Softly then boldly) (Carry me there) (Need me) (Love me and feed me) (Kiss me and free me) (I will feel blessed) [Spoken] In our darkest hour, in my deepest despair Will you still care? Will you be there? In my trials and my tribulations Through our doubts and frustrations In my violence, in my turbulence Through my fear and my confessions In my anguish and my pain Through my joy and my sorrow In the promise of another tomorrow I'll never let you part For you're always in my heart
