IRIS (HOLD ME CLOSE)

The ache
In my heart

Is so much a part of who I am
Into the dark streets where the homeless groan, God speaks: "I've had enough; I'm on my way to heal the ache in the heart of the wretched." Psalm 12:5 MSG
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years to get here
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years
A thousand years
A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Psalm 90:4 NIV
Hold me close
Hold me close
And don't let me go
With your very hands you formed me.... Oh, love meーand right now!ーhold me tight! just the way you promised. Now comfort me so I can live, really live. Psalm 119:73-80 MSG
But you
I'm sure I've met
Long before the night
The stars went out
We're meeting up again
Jesus: "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:3 KJV
