I Got You
Brush Arbor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walkin′ on a Sunday mornin' in the rain
Hearin′ the sound of the church bells ringin'
Lettin' my head bring me misery
Lettin′ self pity get to me

But when I listen to the story all about You
And all of the things that You say and do
Somethin′ I see I wanna be

Lettin' Your Spirit get to me

I got You to hold me
I got You to show me
And if I keep doin′ what You told me to
There's nothin′ else can get to me
I got You

Now I'm walkin′ by faith, no longer by sight
Standin' on the word, livin' in the light
Tellin′ the world what You done to me
Lettin′ the whole world see

I got You to hold me
I got You to show me
And if I keep doin' what You told me to
There′s nothin' else can get to me
I got You

He said, "Ask Me anything in
My Name and I′ll do it"
So love me, so heal me
Keep on gettin' to me
Keep on gettin′ to me

I got You to hold me
I got You to show me
And if I keep doin' what You told me to
There's nothin′ else can get to me

I got You to hold me
I got You to show me
And if I keep doin′ what You told me to
There's nothin′ else can get to me

I got You to hold me
I got You
