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)
