Michael Card  I failed again to make the mark  Lost my way once more  I tried to do it by myself  Like so many times before  And now again I turn to You  I'm hungry and confused  By now my strength's dissolved away  And I feel like I've been used  Chorus  If You leave me to myself oh Lord  It will always be the same  It's You who'll have to hold my hand  And protect me by Your name  It's You who'll have to hold my hand  And protect me by Your name  I turn and find You there for me  You've been waiting all along  The open arms, the sweet relief  And You whisper me a song  At times like these I ask myself  How could I have ever strayed  And forgotten all You've given me  And lost sight of what You paid  Chorus  It's You who'll have to hold my hand  And protect me by Your name
