Holding On To Your Love

Dedicated to those lost in and still living through the events of 9/11
When the curtain fell for me
the reason for living died.
Deep within the deep I call
get me by.
Get me by before the river runs dry
Get me by, get me by, get me by
Get me by 'cause I can't cry no more
I can't cry no more.
Holding on, holding on to your love,
Holding on, holding on to your love,
Holding on, holding on to your love,
Holding on, holding on to your love.
So I found the reason: not my will
Yours be done as you intended
and I'll be still.
Yours be done as you intended
mine's done, I surrended.
Yours be done as you intended
mine's done, I surrended to you.
I surrended to you.
I surrended to you.
Holding on, holding on to your love,
Holding on, holding on to your love,
I'm holding on, holding on to your love.
Holding on, holding on to your love.
Someone once told me
how to deal with loss.
he said, Wrap it up in a rainbow
and leave it by the cross.
Leave it by the foot of the cross, boy
leave it for me.
Leave it by the foot of the cross, boy
leave it for me.
Just leave it for me.
Leave it for me.
Leave it for me.
Holding on, holding on to your love,
I'm holding on, holding on to your love,
I'm holding on, holding on to your love.
I'm holding on, holding on to your love.

I am just one English film maker and musician who was so touched by 9/11 that I just want the world to hear this song.
Perhaps there are still so many people in the wake of 9/11 who cannot forgive and who will never forget. I pray that those left behind might just find some comfort in the simple cover of this album and the this song that I dedicate to each and every suffering individual upon that day. May the God of all grace and all understanding be with you all. May all your sorrows be wrapped up in a rainbow and left at the foot of the cross.
