I failed again to make the mark
  Lost my way once more
  I tried to do it by myself
  Like so many times before
  And now again I turn to You
  I'm hungry and confused
  By now my strength's dissolved away
  And I feel like I've been used
  
  Chorus
  If You leave me to myself oh Lord
  It will always be the same
  It's You who'll have to hold my hand
  And protect me by Your name
  It's You who'll have to hold my hand
  And protect me by Your name
  
  I turn and find You there for me
  You've been waiting all along
  The open arms, the sweet relief
  And You whisper me a song
  At times like these I ask myself
  How could I have ever strayed
  And forgotten all You've given me
  And lost sight of what You paid
  
  Chorus
  It's You who'll have to hold my hand
  And protect me by Your name
