Have, Hold, Keep

Verse:
Seething in my burning heart.
I’m wondering why I depart.
Lost my love, lost my hope.
I’m a universal dope.

Can’t keep my eyes in my head.
I feel I left me for dead.
I know You’re here when I’m gone.
I know You’re right when I am wrong.


Chorus:
Have me, hold me, keep me close
In Your pocket, don’t let go.
I’m the one that’s wandering here.
It’s like I’m healing when I’m near.


Verse:
I prayed in me with darkest dread.
My pride has swollen my stupid head.
A wind comes up toward my way.
It seems to me I hear You say.

“I have you, hold you, keep you close.
On My lapel, like a rose.
I’m the One that’s watching here.
I’m the One that misses you near.”


Repeat Chorus

    Intriguing... :)

    I like the word pictures of closeness you put in here... I think the lapel one got me.

    My only critical points would be that the word "dope" and "stupid" seem a little rough for the rest of what you've written here.

    But, other than that, I like it!

      Thanks, sis!

      I used those words because I want to give anyone who reads this a voice. I believe it's a way to be genuine and real, because someone else would probably use the same words. I believe Christians can be real, genuine and relatable while walking with their Lord. I believe that was part of Jesus' appeal in those days.
