Take My Hand
Lindsay McCaul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard you say it I know you did
You called me out into the waves and wind
And for a moment I was brave and strong
But now everything is going wrong

Didn't you know that I'd be scared
Couldn't you see I was unprepared
I'm not asking for reasons you hold or the safety of land
I just need you to take my hand

I could have stayed back where I was before
And never met you in this raging storm
You're telling me that faith is all I need
But fear is all that I can find in me

Didn't you know that I'd be scared
Couldn't you see I was unprepared
I'm not asking for reasons you hold or the safety of land
I just need you to take my hand

'Cause I would be okay if you'd take my hand
I wouldn't be afraid if you'd take my hand
All would fade away if you'd take my hand
If you'd take my hand

Didn't you know that I'd be scared
Couldn't you see I was unprepared
I'm not asking for reasons you hold or the safety of land
I just need you to take




Won't you please come and take
I just need you to take my hand

Overall Meaning

The song "Take My Hand" by Lindsay McCaul is a beautiful expression of faith and trust in God. The lyrics describe a person who has been called by God to step out of their comfort zone and take a risk. At first, they were brave and strong, but now they are scared and unprepared. The singer pleads for God to take their hand and guide them through the storm, because they know that with His help, they will be okay.


Throughout the song, there is a tension between fear and faith. The singer acknowledges that fear is all they can find in themselves right now, but they also believe that faith is all they need. They express their desire for God to take control, to provide the safety and security that they cannot find on their own. It is a vulnerable and honest portrayal of the struggle that many people face when trying to trust in God's plan for their lives.


One of the most compelling aspects of the song is the repetition of the phrase "take my hand". It is a simple and powerful request, but it carries so much meaning. By asking God to take their hand, the singer is acknowledging their need for help and guidance, and at the same time, they are placing their trust in Him. It is a beautiful reminder that we are not meant to navigate this life alone - we all need someone to take our hand and lead us through the difficult times.
