Put my feet in concrete
Tie my hands behind me
'Cause I can feel the pull
Of the man I was beforePut your blinders on me
Wrap your arms around me
'Cause I'm afraid that
I might run right out that doorIf you don't hold me back
Hold me back
'Cause it's just like me
To run from the one who loves meFather please, hold me back
Be the strength I lack
'Cause it's just like me
To run from the one that I needTake the wind from my sail
Throw the anchor over my rails
'Cause I know I'm not always
The quickest to concedeWhen it's best that I fail
Don't let my will prevail
'Cause my salvation
Is my magnificent defeatI need you to hold me backBecause I was never able
To save myself in the first place
So why would I think I could do it nowLeft to my inventions
And the best of my intentions
We know I'd only destroy myselfIf you don't hold me back
Hold me back
'Cause it's just like me
To run from the one who loves meFather please, hold me back
Be the strength I lack
'Cause it's just like me to run
But you hold me backYou hold me back
'Cause it's just like you
To run to the one who needs youYou hold me back
Hold me back
It's just like you
To love me better than I doProne to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it
Seal it for Your courts above
