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
