Lyrics

Verse 1

Fear has gotten ahold of me

Gotten control of me

I am still and quiet

Fear, it has broken me

Gotten ahold of me

And I cannot break it

Fear defeated me

Chorus

Take hold of me with the hands that are nail-pierced

The love that cast all fear into the fire that saves me

You, You will still hold on when I cannot go on

Into the fire that saves me; take hold of me

Take hold of me

Verse 2

Guilt has gotten ahold of me

Thinks that it knows me

It has called me failure

Guilt, it has shackled me

Gotten ahold of me

But I have called it liar

Guilt has seen defeat

Chorus

Take hold of me with the hands that are nail-pierced

The love that cast all fear into the fire that saves me

You, You will still hold on when I cannot go on

Into the fire that saves me; take hold of me

Take hold of me

Bridge

Cast my fear to the fire, this my desire

Burn these ashes that hold me down

This my desire, feet to the fire

Till I’m holy and I am strong

This is where I belong

Cast my fear to the fire, this my desire

Burn these ashes that hold me down

This my desire, feet to the fire

Till I’m holy and I am strong

Chorus

Take hold of me with the hands that are nail-pierced

The love that cast all fear into the fire that saves me

You, You will still hold on when I cannot go on

Into the fire that saves me; take hold of me

Chorus

Take hold of me with the hands that are nail-pierced

The love that cast all fear into the fire that saves me

You, You will still hold on when I cannot go on

Into the fire that saves me

Bridge 2

Cast my fear to the fire, this my desire

Burn these ashes that hold me down

This my desire, feet to the fire

Till I’m holy

Tag

Faith has gotten ahold of me

Gotten control of me

I will not stay quiet
