lyrics

Tempest tossed and thrown about, I cannot live one day without
Your brand new mercies, every morning
Every day it’s sink or swim, but mostly You just pull me in
with faithfulness You carry me
Cause all of my affections scatter quickly like a maelstrom full of reckless and illusionary dreams
I can be uncertain of the simplest of devotions, I’m desperate for the anchoring You bring


Hold me fast when the nights break down on me
Hold me fast when my faith is less than weak
Hold me fast when the voices are louder than Yours
Jesus, help my unbelief
Hold me fast

I’m always casting eyes about ‘cause I just want to figure out
If these waves can hold me, if they control me
Either way the bottom line is do I trust You every time You call me out of fear and doubt
Temptation pulls my ankles down and fear is why I’ll surely drown
Oh, if only I could hold Your gaze
Then I’d know You are stronger than the forces of my heart that seem to
Drive me down into the waves

Hold me fast when the nights break down on me
Hold me fast when my faith is less than weak
Hold me fast when the voices are louder than Yours
Jesus, help my unbelief. Hold me fast.

This is not some parallel to show You that I'm trusting well
In truth the ocean might be safe compared to dark nights of the soul that leave a tattered, gaping hole but push me to hold fast to faith

Hold me fast when the nights break down on me
Hold me fast when my faith is less than weak
Hold me fast when the voices are louder than Yours
Jesus, help my unbelief
Jesus, hely my unbelief
Hold me fast
