By Your Name

Michael Card


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
