Verse 1
Hold me now
In the hands that created the heavens
Find me now
Where the grace runs as deep as Your scars
You pulled me from the clay, You set me on a rock
You called me by Your name
And made my heart whole again
Verse 2
Lifted up
And my knees know it’s all for Your glory
That I might stand
With more reasons to sing than to fear
(So come on then)
You pulled me from the clay, You set me on a rock
You called me by Your name
And made my heart whole again
Chorus
So here I stand, high in surrender
I need You now
Hold my heart, now and forever
My soul cries out
Once I was broken
But You loved my whole heart through
Sin has no hold on me
‘Cause Your grace holds me now
Verse 3
And that grace
Owns the ground where the grave did
Where all my shame remains
Left for dead in Your wake
You crashed those age-old gates
You left no stone unturned
You stepped out of that grave
And shouldered me all the way
Chorus
(So here I stand now)
Here I stand (Come on), high in surrender
I need You now (He’s the present God, He’s here)
Hold my heart, now and forever
My soul cries out
‘Cause once I was broken (Let me tell you)
But You loved my whole heart through
Sin has no hold on me
‘Cause Your grace holds me now
Healed and forgiven
Look where my chains are now
Death has no hold on me
‘Cause Your grace holds that ground
And Your grace holds me now
Your grace holds me now
Your grace holds me now
Your grace holds me now
Interlude
I can tell you these are happy tears, these aren’t sad tears
These are the tears that says, “God is good and He is restoring and He is Redeemer”
And I want to invite you into an altar moment with Jesus
‘Cause this song represents that for me
You know, for five years, I held on to broken dreams and relationships and things that I couldn’t fix
But the crazy thing is when you hold on to it, nothing happens
And you just become burdened
But when you release it to God, who is the Restorer, who is the Redeemer, who is the Reconciler
That’s when His grace works
And He brings beauty out of ashes and He does the thing that only He can do
And He works in mysterious ways
And I don’t know if it’s going to happen in a moment tonight that it breaks
But I’m believing that it can
That a moment in the presence of God, it can happen tonight
So if that’s you tonight and there’s things you need to release to God
There’s things you need to say, you know what, I can’t do this oh God
But not my will but Your will be done, in this part of my life
If that’s you, would you lift your hand tonight?
It could be big, it could be small
But the cool thing is, this isn’t about me, but this is between you and Jesus
And I believe that there’s gonna be freedom in this place
‘Cause it is for freedom that He set us free
Come on, you sing this out
Chorus
Here I stand, high in surrender
I need You now
Hold my heart, now and forever
My soul cries out
Here I stand, high in surrender
I need You now (Oh, I stand here)
Hold my heart, now and forever
My soul cries out (Where we stand now)
Here I stand, high in surrender
I need You now
Hold my heart, now and forever
My soul cries out
‘Cause once I was broken
But You loved my whole heart through
Sin has no hold on me
‘Cause Your grace holds me now (Thank You, Lord)
I’m healed and forgiven
Look where my chains are now
Death has no hold on me
‘Cause Your grace holds that ground
And Your grace holds me now
Your grace holds me now
Your grace holds me now
Your grace holds me now
