You hold my hand and lead on in to Your plans
Whenever I cry out You hear me
Whenever I fall down You hold me
Hold me, never let me go
Change me I want the world to know
God I know You'll never let me go
No, You'll never let me go
No, You'll never let me go
No, You'll never let me go
I want to live for You,
my God You are my all
God help me stand for You each day
and be Your voice
Whenever I cry out You hear me
Whenever I fall down You hold me
Whenever I stand up You're with me
'Cause I know Your Spirit's living in me
Hold me, never let me go
Change me I want the world to know
You are living in me
