He Will Hold Me Fast — Sunday Song

This will be our first new song of the new year and I’m excited to sing the truth of this song with our church.

The lyrics:

When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold through life’s fearful path;
For my love is often cold; He must hold me fast.

CHORUS
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.

Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in his holy sight, He will hold me fast.
He’ll not let my soul be lost; His Promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast.

CHORUS

For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith s turned to sight, when He comes at last!

CHORUS
