Hold My Heart…

August 23, 2008

We went to this concert Friday night and this song really spoke to me.. I cant describe to you the enormous praise and worship session we had!  If you havent heard of Tenth Avenue North, I highly suggest you go right now and purchase their CD.

Go.  Now.

Hurry.

Hold My Heart - Tenth Avenue North

How long must I pray, must I pray to You?
How long must I wait, must I wait for You?
How long ’til I see Your face, see You shining through?
I’m on my knees, begging You to notice me.
I’m on my knees, Father will you turn to me?

One tear in the dropping rain,
One voice in the sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breakin’ heart?
One light, that’s all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You’re everything You say You are
Won’t You come close and hold my heart

I’ve been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes
So much can slip away before I say goodbye.
But if there’s no other way, I’m done asking why.
‘Cause I’m on my knees, begging You to turn to me
I’m on my knees, Father will you run to me?

One tear in the dropping rain,
One voice in the sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breakin’ heart?
One light, that’s all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You’re everything You say You are
Won’t You come close and hold my heart.

So many questions without answers, Your promises remain
I can’t sleep but I’ll take my chances to hear You call my name
To hear You call my name

One tear in the dropping rain,
One voice in the sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breakin’ heart?
One light, that’s all I am
Right now I can barely stand
If You’re everything You say You are
Won’t You come close and hold my heart.

Hold my heart, could you hold my heart?
Hold my heart.

    Thank you Heather :wub: for sharing this new group and song! These words spoke so much to my spirit! :angel: I’m sure I can’t purchase it here in Mexico but I pray that Ten Avenue North is around awhile if their music all is like this! :silly: Maybe someone will put it on YouTube! :ninja: Hoping all is going well in Homeschool and you are enjoying your day of rest and a refreshed weekend after hearing this great concert! :whistle:
    Still want to know how to embed one of those little players for just one song. No classes for dummies 101 in your homeschool for me!!! I agree about Karen for sales…maybe you should get some of the commission(lol)! Have a happy week!

    Hi Heather, I know how much the Lord uses music to minister to your heart and how often you use it to minister to ours. I thought you would be blessed by this song.

    Trent is our worship leader and everytime we sing thissong at church You are on my heart, because you do shine for your generation.
    I hope it blesses you as much as you bless us.
    Because of Jesus, Bobbie

    Trent walks a hard path too, and His music comes straight from the throne of God’s amazing Grace.
    Be blessed little Sister.
    because of Jesus, Bobbie

    Oh I LOVE this! thank you so much for posting it, it’s perfect timing. As for the previous post - I feel the same way. Hard to believe… well, hard to believe it was so believable. But like you say, it doesn’t change who God is, and it really doesn’t even change the words and meaning to that famous Healer song. God is good. All the time. All the time - GOD IS GOOD.
