Take My Hand
Chris and Johnny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be still, there is a healer
His love is deeper than the sea
His mercy, it is unfailing
His arms are a fortress for the weak

Let faith arise
Let faith arise
I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart, these things I remember
You are faithful, God, forever

Be still, there is a river
That flows from Calvary's tree
A fountain for the thirsty
Pure grace that washes over me

So let faith arise
Let faith arise
Open my eyes
Open my eyes

I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart, these things I remember




You are faithful, God
You are faithful, God, forever

Chris Elliot deserved an academy award for his performance in this movie. Some of the best comedy of all-time.

@twistthrottle354

+I. Thorberg not a challenging role? I'd like to see you play this character and be half as funny as Chris Elliot. These directors know who to go for when it comes to these comedies like this. Shut your mouth you goon

@WPTHFC

Twist Throttle he is right.

+Black Belt Jones sutton Guy makes a comment of his opinion on the performance of an actor, another responds with an opposing opinion. You think he's taking it too seriously after he responds clarifying his stance to some other rando that couldn't take his opposing opinion and decided to insult him, and you think I. Th. was the one taking it too seriously? What a soyboy..
