Psalm 5 - Hold Me Fast

Lyrics by Nathan Alberson and Philip Moyer

In the morning hear my cry
Hear my prayer, Lord, lifted high
Let my groaning reach Your ears
Come and draw near

I know with You no evil dwells
At our sins Your anger swells
Men of bloodshed, men of lies
Lord, You despise

To Your temple I draw near
Bowing down in holy fear

Let my cry come to Your ears
Set me free from all my fears
Lead me on in righteousness
And hold me fast
By Your grace I’ll live and sing
Loud hosannas daily bring
Lifted high on eagles’ wings
I’m safe at last

The words of wicked men enslave
Their throats are like an open grave
With their tongues they snatch their prey
And lead them astray

Hold the wicked guilty, Lord
Let them die by their own sword
Far outside Mount Zion’s gate
Lord, let them fall

In Your temple You are near
I will bow in holy fear

Let my cry come to Your ears
Set me free from all my fears
Lead me on in righteousness
And hold me fast
By Your grace I’ll live and sing
Loud hosannas daily bring
Lifted high on eagles’ wings
I’m safe at last

Under Your wings
You are our shield
Let us be glad
Those who will yield
Who love Your name
Your grace revealed

Let my cry come to Your ears
Set me free from all my fears
Lead me on in righteousness
And hold me fast
By Your grace I’ll live and sing
Loud hosannas daily bring
Lifted high on eagles’ wings
I’m safe at last
