When I bow my head
And close my eyes
I can feel the surging deep within
My heart so afraid
Calls out its maker's name
And in me rises a plea to him
I'm quick to run
I'm sure to flee
But God remains my guidance constantly
When I'm face to face
With my darkest sin
His work to right my story will then begin
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
I'm stilled to hope
I'm calmed to trust
For God will do just what he said he'd do
And though I know a chaos in my deepest parts
His peace it calms me deeper, deeper still
Though I'm quick to run
And I'm sure to flee
God remains my guidance constantly
As I'm face to face with my darkest sin
His work to write my story will then begin
He will hold me fast
He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
When I fear my faith will fail
When the tempter would prevail
Coz I never keep my hold
For my love is often cold
But those he saves are his delight
They are precious in his sight
He'll not let my soul be lost
It was bought by him at such a cost
And He will hold me fast
Christ will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so
He will hold me fast
