words and music by Mitch McVicker

Sometimes I feel at home
Often I feel so far away
And though dreams and wheels move me on
I pray my heart will always stay
Well within the sound of His voice of love
And my doubts come now and then
But peace has come forever more
And when I feel my faith is wearin' thin
He picks me up from the floor
And gives me strength to stand, when I think I can't

Chorus
That's why He is the only thing I want to see
That's why I pray, I pray His love takes
A hold of me, Lord take hold of me

So I hope I take my words to heart
The tongue has a way of movin' with ease
My thoughts are tangled up like a ball of yarn
I'm just hopin' to believe
So the truth my mind knows, will touch my soul

Chorus
Yeah, He is the only thing I want to see
That's why I pray, I pray His love takes
A hold of me, Lord take hold of me

Bridge
Yes, now the one and only thing
I want to want is His love
And all I want to need is my Lord Jesus
I'm gonna sing my song out loud
Complete with all the mistakes
And though I'm far from holy now
I can still sing His praise

Chorus
Yeah, He is the only thing I want to see
That's why I pray, I pray His love takes
A hold of me, Lord take hold of me

I originally sang this whole song, but I decided some of the words were being lost because the lyrics were so fast. Then after I talked through it a couple times I thought it sounded cool anyway.
