40 Years Lyrics by Ian Yates

Between The Joy And The Sorrow - Part 1

2022

[Verse 1]
Oh, it took me forty years to realise
That I'm not strong enough
God, I need You
I've weathered many storms
But this last one hit me hard
God, I need You
God, I need You
[Verse 2]
I have waited in the silence for You
And I'm crying out again
God, I need You
My fears are in front of me
My heart is torn again
God, I need You
God, I need You
[Chorus]
Hold me now
Hold me now
[Verse 3]
I have delved into the deepest parts of me
Into the mysteries
And I have found You
In my darkest nights, You've never let me go
God, You've held me
Yes, You've held me
[Chorus]
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
[Bridge]
God, here I am
On my knees
I've been falling apart
Falling apart
But I have known
And I have seen
You won't let me go
You won't let me go
God, here I am
On my knees
I've been falling apart
Falling apart
But I have known
And I have seen
You won't let me go
You won't let me go
[Chorus]
Yeah
You're holding me now
You're holding me now, yeah
And, oh
You're holding me now
You're holding me now, yeah
[Verse 4]
Oh, it's took me forty years to realise
That I'm not strong enough
God, I need You
