Hold Me Back
I’ve been listening to Jason Gray’s latest album, Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue, quite a bit these past few weeks. The lyrics of “Hold Me Back” I’ve found particularly compelling. It’s a whole lot more honest than most of the songs I find myself singing these days.
When it’s best that I fail
Don’t let my will prevail
Cause my salvation is
My magnificent defeatI need you to hold me back
Hold me back
Cause it’s just like me to
Run from the one who loves me
That’s a hard prayer, but it’s one we all need to pray a lot more often than we do.
