The Love I Long To Hold

Phil Keaggy


So long, I can take this just for so long 
Goodbye, well you figured me out all wrong. 
Did you say to me we were going on 
Did you mean to say that the fire was gone? 
So long, so long. 
I was bout nearly gonna give it up 
Then someone gave me a drink from a lovin cup 
And said Hold on, hold on. 

Out of the bleakest night comes hope, 
And out of a stormy night 
I raise to reach the love I long to hold. 

My love, I can nearly see you my love 
You called cause you know what I'm dreaming of. 
Did I hear you say there was little time, 
Did you say I heard I was on your mind? 
Come on, come on. 

I was so needy and could die of thirst 
You gave me something to drink 
When things were at their worst. 
Come on, come on. 

Out of the bleakest night comes hope. 
And out of a stormy night 
I raise to reach the love I long to hold. 
Love I long to hold. 
Love I long to hold.
