"Hold Me Closely" lyrics

Hold me closely, hold me softly
Don't let me fall on my own
Love me gently, don't love me at all
I'll get back up on my feet right after I fall

There is a path in this place called my life
Don't know if I can travel alone
Need someone to take me by my hand
Lead me safely to the Promised Land

Hold me closely, hold me softly
Don't let me fall on my own
Love me gently, don't love me at all
I'll get back up on my feet right after I fall

Now in life's shadows
We appear afraid
But there will be light shining down on us someday
Gracefully we're sighing, we've nothing to hide
We'll meet again on by and by
