Fear is far from love
And I feel scared enough
To think You�??ve given up on me
But I can�??t hide my shame
You know my deepest pain
You are well acquainted with my grief
Oh great God of power
I have lost my strength
This is my desperate hour
I�??m calling out Your name
I cry
Are You out there tonight
Or am I all alone
This time it�??s the fight of my life
So I cry
I can�??t do this on my own
I can�??t do this on my own
I am giving You control
If weakness is a crown
Then I kneel before You now
And lay it at Your feet as an offering
And if You hold everything
Then don�??t let go of me
Hide me in the shadow of Your wings
Oh great God of power
I have lost my strength
This is my desperate hour
I�??m calling out Your name
Are You out there tonight
Are You out there tonight
Are You out there tonight
So I cry
Are You out there tonight
(You said You�??d never leave me)
Are You out there tonight
(You said You�??d never leave me)
Are You out there tonight
(You said You�??d never leave me)
So I cry
I can�??t do this on my own
I can�??t do this on my own
I can�??t do this on my own
I can�??t do this alone
I can�??t do this
I�??m holding on to You
I�??m holding on to You
I�??m holding on
I�??m holding on to You
God, I�??m holding on to You
Lord, I�??m holding on
