hold me closer
baby Jesus, watch over me
what can i do? what can i be?
wash me gently out to the sea
i cannot choose what i cannot see
hold me closer, carry the line
i'll clean your shoes till they sparkle and shine
win or lose, they will bury me deep
wash me clear out to the sea
and i was ready to fight through the fire
that jungle of sin was deep and was wide
all the heavens they heaved and they cried
thunder and light it burst from the sky
hold me closer, carry the line
i'll clean your shoes till they sparkle and shine
win or lose, they will bury me deep
wash me clear out to the sea
and my savior, he died in his sleep
how can we hide when the savior can't dream?
he was human, and i do believe
cling to my faith like a tree in the breeze
hold me closer, carry the line
i'll clean your shoes till they sparkle and shine
win or lose, they will bury me deep
wash me clear out to the sea
