intimate mix
Gospel rap with a slow half-time bounce
warm organ chords
and sparse kick-snare pockets; verse rides close-mic male vocals with dry
pre-chorus opens into stacked choir responses
chorus hits with shouted doubles and ad-libbed amens. Transition with organ swells
reverse cymbal breaths
and a soft tambourine lift. Wide

Тексты
[Verse 1]
I came in bent
shoes full of dust
knees on the floor
heart full of rust
Mama said pray
so I closed my eyes
but all I could see
was the day I lied
I said I was strong
I said I was fine
but my hands kept shaking
every single time
[Pre-Chorus]
If You can hear me
hear me now
I’m not polished
I’m not proud
I got the scars
You never chose
still I’m here
with my broken hope
[Chorus]
Jesus, hold me close
Jesus, hold me close
I’m falling apart
and You know my ghost
Jesus, hold me close
Jesus, hold me close
Even this hurt
You can make it go
(hold me close)
(hold me close)
[Verse 2]
My brother left
my daddy too
empty chairs
and a cracked-up view
I smiled at church
then cried alone
told everybody
I was standing strong
But grace found me
in the hardest room
where the truth came out
like a borrowed tune
I laid it down
all the fear and shame
saying Your name
like a burning flame
[Pre-Chorus]
If You can hear me
hear me now
I’m not polished
I’m not proud
I got the scars
You never chose
still I’m here
with my broken hope
[Chorus]
Jesus, hold me close
Jesus, hold me close
I’m falling apart
and You know my ghost
Jesus, hold me close
Jesus, hold me close
Even this hurt
You can make it go
(hold me close)
(amens around me)
[Bridge]
If I can’t stand
then carry me
if I can’t speak
then sing for me
Take these tears
and turn them to rain
wash my name
through the ache and pain
I was lost
now I’m found again
still trembling
but I know You, Friend
[Final Chorus]
Jesus, hold me close
Jesus, hold me close
I’m coming undone
but I’m not yours to lose
Jesus, hold me close
Jesus, hold me close
Even this hurt
You can make it new
(hold me close)
(amen)
