Caedmon's Call - Hold The Light Lyrics

It's been a long year
Like a sleepless night
Jacob wrestled the angel
But I'm too tired to fight

Every Wednesday
For two years we've met
I've showed you all my anger
My doubts and bitterness

There was no judgment in your eyes
Just the silent peace of God
That felt so real in you

Will you hold the light for me?
Will you hold the light for me?

And I stay up late
'Cause I cannot sleep
I don't wanna face the quiet
It's just God and me

'Cause I'm waiting for the gavel
Handing me the sentence down
'Cause I don't believe forgiveness
Or even repentance now

There was no judgment in your eyes
Just the silent peace of God
That felt so real in you

Will you hold the light for me?
Will you hold the light for me?

I wanna feel redemption
Flowing through my veins
I wanna see with clear eyes
Beyond lust and hate

I want the war to be over
And know the good guys won
I want love to hold me
Know I'm not alone

Standing around a willow weeping
We were praying in the backyard, ooh
In the chill of the night the friendship light reminded
Who we are, who we are, who we are

Will you hold the light?
Will you hold the light for me?

Hold the light
Will you hold the light?
