  • for the lost and broken, this is for you

    This song is for you.

    Hillsong United - You Hold Me Now

    This is a tribute.

    For anyone who has ever had a bad day. A day where they had to stay in bed due to sickness. A day of illness. A day where they learned their best friend has died. A day where the tears flowed unceasingly with no end in sight. A day full of pain and sorrow. A day where someone told you had weeks to live. A day of disappointment. For anyone who has ever had a reason to frown, a reason not to smile. For those with aching hearts. For those with broken dreams. For those with nothing to call their own. For those who have lost the world. For those who have hit rock bottom.

    One of the great things about being a Christian is I have this hope that there'll be a day when my life will be flooded with joy and happiness. I know one day I'll smile with my heart and I won't be able to stop it. I know one day I'll never be sick. I won't be underweight. I won't be out of shape. Not that any of that will matter to anyone then. I know one day any sadness remaining in my heart will be replaced with love. The bandages I've placed on my heart will fall away as I'm given a new heart perfectly filled to the brim with love.

    Until that day, I have this song to remind me of what I've living for.

    Here are the lyrics.

    Hillsong United - You Hold Me Now

    On that day when I see
    All that You have for me
    When I see You face to face
    There surrounded by Your grace

    All my fears swept away
    In the light of your embrace
    Where Your love is all I need
    And forever I am free

    Where the streets are made of gold
    In Your presence healed and whole
    Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone

    No weeping, no hurt or pain
    No suffering You hold me now
    You hold me now
    No darkness no sick or lame
    No hiding You hold me now,
    You hold me now

    In this life I will stand
    Through my joy and my pain
    Knowing there's a greater day
    There's a hope that never fails

    Where Your name is lifted high
    And forever praises rise
    For the glory of Your Name
    I'm believing for the day

    Where the wars and violence cease
    All creation lives in peace
    Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone

    No weeping, no hurt or pain
    No suffering You hold me now
    You hold me now
    No darkness no sick or lame
    No hiding You hold me now,
    You hold me now

    For eternity
    All my heart will give
    All the glory to Your name

    No weeping, no hurt or pain
    No suffering You hold me now
    You hold me now
    No darkness no sick or lame
    No hiding You hold me now,
    You hold me now
