I raise my hands to be judged
Let me be a model and be the first
All my friends, wherever you are
Know that I gave my all to God
Time has come to stop my sins
Hold my hand Lord despite people’s oppression
Even if people will leave me to stay alone
I’ve realized that there is a best friend
O Lord the Almighty, eternal forgiveness,
I need you because only you take care of me
I am assured to touch my destiny
I am with you my Lord and advisor
I will never be poor
I want to renounce my sins
I tried to change many times but I was trained by this bad World
Help me to overcome temptations
I remember that you saved me in troubles
I thank you for everything
I want to stay with you Lord from now
This is a chance I am given to remember all you did for me
You are the only one I need, none is like you.
Chorus Hold my hand, I want to follow you
Hold my hand; I want to walk with you.
I call my father now, I want to be proud
even if many enemies are surrounding me, Satan leading me to temptations
I am sure you are stronger
By following you, I will escape from him
no more sins cause they are vain
I commit to leave them and follow you.
In you, I will smile
I will be saved from this devilish earth for more precious things,
Hold my hand while following you, lead me all along the way
there will be a time I will stop sinning
I won’t disappoint my fellows anymore and this forever.
Chorus
