My hands are holding you

Why are you striving these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying? Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away.

Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough?
To where will you go, child?
Tell me where will you run,
To where will you run?

And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead night
Whenever you call
Please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you...

Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin,
So I could carry you in
And give you life.
I want to give you life...
