Rich Mullins' song "Hold Me Jesus" is a heartfelt prayer for intimacy and transformation. The lyrics reflect on Jesus' miracles—walking on water, healing the lame, calming storms—and express a personal longing to experience that same power and presence. Mullins admits his own weakness and inner turmoil, asking Jesus to write him into His story and to roll away the stone from his heart, just as the stone was rolled from the tomb. The song captures a raw, honest dependence on Christ, blending vulnerability with a deep desire to know and follow Him.

Jesus
They say You walked upon the water once
When you lived as all men do
Please teach me how to walk the way You did
Because I want to walk with You
Jesus
They say you taught a lame man how to dance
When he had never stood without a crutch
Well here am I Lord holding out my withered hands
And I'm just waiting to be touched
Jesus
Write me into Your story
Whisper it to me
And let me know I'm Yours
Jesus
They say You spoke and calmed an angry wave
That was tossed across a stormy sea
Please teach me how to listen how to obey
'Cause there's a storm inside of me
Jesus
Write me into Your story
Whisper it to me
And let me know I'm Yours
Jesus
They drove the cold nails through Your tired hands
And rolled a stone to seal Your grave
Feels like the devil's rolled a stone onto my heart
Can You roll that stone away?
