Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I don't wanna keep on singing 
And keep singing 
I don't wanna live for You 
Not see you in real 
I don't wanna know Your name 
And know not much before I get to the gate 

Please hold me hold me closer 
Don't let me go 
Hold me closer 

I don't wanna keep on preaching 
And keep not believing in You 
I don't wanna keep on running 
Tripping over my sin myself 
I don't wanna know Your name 
And know not much before I get to the gate 

Hold me hold me closer 
Don't let me go 
Hold me closer 

Hold me closer 
Hold me closer 
Don't let me go 
Hold me closer
