Many times when I was little I'd hold my Daddy's hand Many times I thought I was so strong I'd let go and try to stand Many times I fell and was so ashamed, never good enough But someone failed to tell me Holding on doesn't do too much Sometimes I'm on the mountain holding on to Your hand Sometimes I'm in the middle holding the best I can Sometimes I'm in the valley and I let go long ago When my hand is weak and tired Your hand still has a hold Many times when I was a child they told me to follow the rules Many times I tried oh so hard to do what they wanted me to But many times I failed and in my disgrace I couldn't call Your name But I found that though I left You You were with me all the same I've tried to hold on to You Seems the best that I can do is sometimes Doing everything I can But it's slipping through my hands sometimes And if You're looking for consistency look to someone else 'Cause I'm holding hands with Heaven while I'm making eyes at Hell If I'm ever gonna change God, I need Your help
