When the waves are crashing And my faith is drowning 'tho I may forget you Hold me, Lord When the cliffs are steepest And my hope is weakest 'tho I fail to trust you Hold me lord. When dark clouds have gathered And my love is battered 'tho I may desert you Hold me Lord. Faith may be eternal, Hope will last forever; greater still is love that Holds me Lord.
Original tune by Jackson Henry (see below)
