Can you hold me now?

So yes, I am a Kirk Franklin fan and I just discovered this old song of his. I have listened to it every day since I first heard it.

I wanted to share it because I think many people are going through tough times right now and I hope it ministers to you like it does me... If you can download it and hear the song, it is beautiful (I did add it to my blog playlist).

Kirk Franklin - Hold me now

The spring of April's gone
The leaves have all turned brown
The children are all grown up
And there's no one around
I'm looking over my life
And all the mistakes I made
And I'm afraid
Afraid
Somebody told me that you would wash all my sins
And cleanse me for the scars that are so deep within
So I'm calling to you
If you can hear me I don't know how
I was wondering can you hold me now?


You are the only one
That's patient when I fall
Your angel's come to save me
Everytime I call
You don't laugh at me
When I make mistakes and cry
You're not like man
You understand me
See people change
One day they don't like you
The next they do
I wish that everyone
Could love me just like you
So here I am
This sinful man
Peace won't allow
I was wondering can you hold me now

To every broken person
That may hear this song
To every boy or girl
That feels his smile is gone
I know exactly how it feels
To lay in the bed at night
And cry, And cry

Don't you worry
God is patient and he cares
About the tears you drop
And the pain you feel he's there
When you are weak
That's when he's strong
Even though you don't know how

God can, and he will hold you now
God can, and he will hold you now
Don't you worry, he can hold you now
