Lyrics Hold Close These Things - Cris Jacobs
I
was
up
before
sunrise,
nothing
but
the
dark
around
Nearly
brought
tears
to
my
eyes,
to
see
them
both
still
sleeping
sound
Holy,
the
few
but
precious
ones,
That
hold
up
among
this
world
held
by
strings
Hold
close
these
things
It's
getting
harder
all
the
time,
to
keep
our
souls
sacred
When
we're
flooded
by
these
sounds
and
sights
that
drown
out
our
Angels
Let's
rid
this
room
of
all
that's
unneeded,
All
that's
unworthy,
All
that's
unkind
And
keep
close
beside
you
those
few
you
Would
die
to
or
save
in
the
fire
to
not
dare
leave
behind
Hold
close
to
these
things
May
you
feel
whole
in
this
wonderful
life
Come
joy,
come
storm,
come
strife
Gotta
hold
close
these
things
So
let
us
not
be
torn
apart,
from
that
which
holds
the
light
Brings
a
shudder
to
your
heart,
Echoes
I
love
you
when
you
call
out
the
night
Time
gives
us
this
holiness,
and
time
taketh
away
So
worry
not
for
when
it
does,
Just
take
good
heed
on
what
to
pray,
on
what
to
pray
Cause
our
days
can
be
cold
and
cruel,
But
inside
our
home
we
mine
jewels,
Precious
as
children
and
one
soul
who's
Willing
to
walk
through
this
world
with
you
Hold
close
to
these
things
May
you
feel
whole
in
this
wonderful
life
Oh,
and
hold
close
to
these
things
Oh,
and
hold
close
to
these
things
Oh,
and
hold
close
to
these
things
May
you
feel
whole
in
this
wonderful
life
Come
joy,
come
storm,
and
strife,
you
got
to
hold
on
To
all
the
world,
that
means
anything
at
all
With
the
storm
breaking,
and
the
night
time
coming
All
you
gotta
do
is
hold,
just
hold
close
these
things
