Soot upon my hands I feel their hate Fire all around but I feel no pain Entrapped within its flames I see Him there He reaches out His hand and draws me near
(Chorus:) In the fiery trials of life, Father hold me Jesus hold me Even when I've tried with all my might, but I'm still broken down Jesus hold me
They know not what they see They hate what they don't know They bow before their fears; their fears become their stones But I am standing here, before your face, wrap around me now, I need your strength
Jesus I, I am broken, broken down, I am crying for your help while I'm in this trial The fires flames cannot touch me for I know, know you'll save me, when I cry, cry to you Lord hold me
