Hold me here, like a child in Your arms
Calm my mind, keep still my rushing heart
All my fears come fleeing out
As all my walls come crashing down (repeat)
You're always fighting for my attention...
Holy, Holy, Lord Almighty
I hear singing all around me
I hear the music of my home
I feel Your presence come surround me
Holy Spirit fills my soul
Holy are You Lord...
