?I wrote ?Hold My Heart? with two friends, Phillip LaRue and Jason Ingram. Phillip and I at the time were both going through separate situations, but a really rough time. [We were] just grappling to understand why God would let certain things happen. We had lunch that day and we were talking about it and the conclusion we came to is really what the bridge says. It says, ?There?s so many questions without answers, but your promises remain.? Basically what that is saying is you know what? Sometimes we aren?t going to get the answers we want, but we still have God?s promises and the tough part of that is when Jesus said to us, ?I will never leave you nor forsake you,? but your whole world feels like he?s done exactly that, it is no small thing to hold onto the truth and cling to that truth. ?Hold My Heart? is a psalm.  It?s like Psalm 13, it?s saying, God I?m clinging and holding on and I just don?t know how much longer I can go, so come and hold my heart.?

How long must I pray<br/>
Must I pray to You?<br/>
How long must I wait<br/>
Must I wait for You?<br/>
How long till I see Your face<br/>
See You shining through
</p>
<p>
I?m on my knees<br/>
Begging You to notice me<br/>
I?m on my knees<br/>
Father, will You turn to me
</p>
<p>
One tear in the driving rain<br/>
One voice in a sea of pain<br/>
Could the maker of the stars<br/>
Hear the sound of my breaking heart<br/>
One life, that?s all I am<br/>
Right now I can barely stand<br/>
If You?re everything You say You are<br/>
Would You come close and hold my heart
</p>
<p>
I?ve been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes<br/>
So much can slip away before I say goodbye<br/>
But if there?s no other way<br/>
I?m done asking why
</p>
<p>
So many questions without answers<br/>
Your promises remain<br/>
I can?t see but I?ll take my chances<br/>
To hear you call my name<br/>
To hear you call my name
