This one took two days to write…mostly written yesterday morning, but finished it over lunch today and thought I’d post it up.  No music yet, but it’ll only be a matter of time.

TAKE HOLD
Words by Michael Miles

And so I wonder, what do you want me to say
That you’d turn your head when I go to pray
I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve lost my way
How much more sorry must I be?

Well I thought that I laid all my burdens down
Given to you the last of my golden crowns
And I’m so sorry that I’ve just not come around
Oh, can you hear me?

[chorus]:
I confess I’ve a few too many distractions
That makes it difficult to let you in
Will you have mercy and lift these sanctions
And forgive me of my grievous sins

Ya know I’ve this intense desire to be in-line with You
But I’m so ashamed of all the stupid things I do
And I know that it only goes to prove
That I lack the faith and grace to stand

So all I can do is offer up a humble phrase
“Stay ever close to me all of my days”
And change this broken life with your loving gaze
Oh, take hold of my hand

[chorus x2]
