Hold Me

Some days are a struggle and you barely manage to get through each moment from the time you climb out of bed until the time you climb back in it. I have had my share of these days lately.

Then there are other days where each moment brings joy to your heart and a smile on your face. Days where you can't believe how good your life is and never knew you could be this happy. Today was this kind of day.

All day long, despite really early meetings, last minute schedule changes, driving from school to school and job to job, a forgotten lunch and a husband who had the first type of day- God continually brought joy and cheer to my heart.

On days like this I revel in every happy moment, every positive attitude and every natural wonder. The whole world looks brighter and more beautiful - even here in the dry, dusty desert!

This is me stopping and smelling the roses {sniff} {sniff} ahhhhhhh! Thanks Lord for days like this, you melt my heart with love and overflow my cup with supernatural joy, peace and hope.

On the way home from Pendleton, one of my favorite songs came on and drove my great day home. On top of that, it is K-Love's free download song of the week!

Here are the lyrics in case you haven't heard it. I'd highlight the lyrics I love most, but I really can't narrow it down that much. I just love this upbeat song and all the words in it.

Jamie Grace: Hold Me [featuring Toby Mac]

(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me) x3
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you, the way you)

I've had a long day I just wanna relax
Don’t have time for my friends, no time to chit-chat
Problems at my job, wonderin’ what to do
I know I should be working but I’m thinking of You and
Just when I feel this crazy world is gonna bring me down
That’s when Your smile comes around

Oh, I love the way You hold me, by my side You’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in Your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh whoa, I love the way You hold me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh

(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me) x 3
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you)

Well You took my day and You flipped it around
Calmed the tidal wave and put my feet on the ground
Forever in my heart, always on my mind
It’s crazy how I think about You all of the time
And just when I think I’m ’bout to figure You out (figure You out)
You make me wanna sing and shout


Oh, I love the way You hold me, by my side You’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in Your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh whoa, I love the way You hold me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh


I’m so grateful and thankful for all You’ve done
Wish I could tell You in a short story or poem
But, all I have is my voice and this guitar
And You have my heart

Oh, I love the way You hold me, by my side You’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in Your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, every day, every day
Oh, I love the way You hold me, by my side You’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it oh-so-special
I love the way you hold me, in Your arms I’ll always be
You take each and every day, make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh whoa, I love the way You hold me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh I love

(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me) x 3
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you, the way you)
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me, hold me, hold me)
