Song Description:
Through Christ’s death and resurrection we can experience the expanse of God’s grace and fierce love that leaves our shame for dead in His wake. Whole Heart (Hold Me Now) is a song of surrender in response to a realisation that God has loved our WHOLE HEART through every season and continues to give us more reasons to sing than to fear. This new single from Hillsong UNITED was recorded live in Sydney, Australia.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Hold me now
In the hands that created the heavens
Find me now
Where the grace runs as deep as Your scars
You pulled me from the clay
Set me on a rock
Call me by Your Name
And made my heart whole again
VERSE 2:
Lifted up
And my knees know it's all for Your glory
That I might stand
With more reasons to sing than to fear
You pulled me from the clay
Set me in a rock
Called me by Your Name
And made my heart whole again
CHORUS:
So here I stand
High in surrender
I need You now
Hold my heart
Now and forever
My soul cries out
POST-CHORUS 1:
Once I was broken
But You loved my whole heart through
Sin has no hold on me
'Cause Your grace holds me now
VERSE 3:
And that grace
Owns the ground where the grave did
Where all my shame remains
Left for dead in Your wake
You crashed those age-old gates
You left no stone unturned
You stepped out of that grave
And shouldered me all the way
POST-CHORUS 2:
Once I was broken
But You loved my whole heart through
Sin has no hold on me
'Cause Your grace holds me now
Healed and forgiven
Look where my chains are now
Death has no hold on me
'Cause Your grace holds me now
And Your grace holds me now
