Soot upon my hands I feel their hate nFire all around but I feel no pain nEntrapped within its flames I see Him there nHe reaches out His hand and draws me near nn(Chorus:)nIn the fiery trials of life, nFather hold me Jesus hold me nEven when I've tried with all my might, nbut I'm still broken down nJesus hold me nnThey know not what they see nThey hate what they don't know nThey bow before their fears; ntheir fears become their stones nBut I am standing here, before your face, nwrap around me now, I need your strength nnJesus I, I am broken, broken down, nI am crying for your help while I'm in this trial nThe fires flames cannot touch me for I know, nknow you'll save me, when I cry, cry to you Lord hold me
