Weary hands worn down to bone
Raise my arms till I can't no more
Ain't no rest till I get home
Ooh, I been singin'

Oh my, my, my Lord, hold me up, hold me up
Oh my, my, my Lord, hold me up, hold me up

Dried-up stream in the Valley of Death
Ain't no place for me to lay my head
And little strength that I have left
Oh, I be singin'

Oh my, my, my Lord, hold me up, hold me up
Oh my, my, my Lord, hold me up, hold me up

When my soul gets weak, I beg and plead
Oh my, my, my Lord, hold me up, hold me up
(Hold me up, hold me up)
(Hold me up, hold me up)

Pull the water from this heart of stone
Quench me like a river does a desert shore
Heaven, won't you help me?
Heaven, won't you help me while I'm here below?
Lord, I'm nothin' but a desperate soul
Need You like a fire in the freezing cold
Heaven, won't you help me?
Heaven, won't you help me while I'm here below?

Oh my, my, my Lord, hold me up, hold me up
Oh my, my, my Lord, hold me up, hold me up

When my soul gets weak, I beg and plead
Oh my, my, my Lord, hold me up, hold me up
(Hold me up, hold me up)
(Hold me up, hold me up)
