Lyrics (English)

[Verse 1]
I wake up slowly
Most days now
The light comes in
But I don’t rush
I sit with thoughts
That have no name
And let the silence
Stay the same

I’ve learned to move
At gentler speed
To listen more
To simply breathe
There was a time
I chased so much
Now all I want
Is Your touch

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t come
With answers clear
I only come
Because You’re here

[Chorus]
You have held me
Through the years
Through quiet joy
Through quiet tears
When I was strong
When I was weak
You stayed with me
You stayed with me

You have held me
When I fell
When words were few
When nights were long
I am still here
Because You cared
You have held me
Everywhere

[Verse 2]
Time has taken
More than I planned
Left its mark
On heart and hands
Some dreams faded
Without a sound
Some prayers grew
In waiting ground

I’ve buried hopes
I couldn’t save
And learned to live
With quieter faith
But looking back
I start to see
You were patient
With all of me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So much changed
Along the way
But not Your love
It stayed

[Chorus]
You have held me
When days were small
When I felt
I’d done it all
When life slowed down
And voices thinned
You stayed with me
From deep within

You have held me
When I waited
When answers came
Much later
I don’t explain
I don’t defend
I only know
You held my hand

[Verse 3]
There were rooms
That felt too quiet
Chairs left empty
Names unspoken
Moments heavy
With remembering
Moments fragile
Moments broken

But even there
You sat with me
Not fixing pain
Not rushing grief
Just letting tears
Fall when they must
Teaching my heart
How to trust

[Chorus]
You have held me
In the dark
When I couldn’t see
A future start
When all I had
Was breath and prayer
You stayed with me
You were there

You have held me
When I felt old
When my world
Grew tired and small
I am not lost
I am not done
Because You held me
All along

[Verse 4]
I don’t fear
The years ahead
Or the quiet
They may bring
If I do less
Let me love more
Let me rest
In everything

I don’t need
To leave a mark
Or prove the life
That I have lived
If my story
Says just this
That I was loved
And I believed

[Chorus]
You have held me
Every age
Every season
Every page
From my first breath
Until this day
You have held me
On the way

You have held me
And You will
Through every valley
Every hill
I don’t walk
The rest alone
You have held me
And You’ll take me home

[Final Chorus]
You have held me
And I can rest
I have lived
And I am blessed
From my first step
To this moment
You have never
Left me broken

Lyrics (Korean)

[Verse 1]
요즘 나는
천천히 하루를 시작해요
빛은 들어오지만
서두르지 않아요
이름 붙일 수 없는
생각들과 함께
침묵이
그대로 머물게 둡니다

나는 배웠어요
더 부드럽게 움직이는 법을
더 많이 듣고
그저 숨 쉬는 법을
한때는
너무 많은 것을 쫓았지만
이제 내가 원하는 건
주님의 손길뿐이에요

[Pre-Chorus]
분명한 답을 가지고
나아오지 않아요
주님이 여기 계시기에
그저 옵니다

[Chorus]
주님은
이 모든 해 동안
나를 붙들어 주셨어요
조용한 기쁨 속에서도
조용한 눈물 속에서도
내가 강할 때도
약할 때도
주님은 나와 함께
머물러 주셨어요

넘어졌을 때에도
말이 없을 때에도
밤이 길 때에도
나는 아직 여기 있어요
주님이 돌보셨기 때문에
주님은
어디에서나
나를 붙드셨어요

[Verse 2]
시간은
내가 예상한 것보다
더 많은 것을
가져갔고
마음과 손에
흔적을 남겼어요
소리 없이
사라진 꿈들도 있고
기다림 속에서
자란 기도들도 있어요

지켜내지 못한
소망들을 묻고
조용한 믿음으로
사는 법을 배웠어요
돌이켜 보니
이제야 보입니다
주님은
있는 그대로의 나에게
인내하셨어요

[Pre-Chorus 2]
많은 것이
길 위에서 변했지만
주님의 사랑은
변하지 않았어요

[Chorus]
하루가 작게 느껴질 때에도
모든 것을 다 했다고
느꼈을 때에도
삶이 느려지고
목소리가 잦아들 때에도
주님은
내 안 깊은 곳에서
나와 함께 계셨어요

기다릴 때에도
답이 훨씬 나중에 올 때에도
나는 설명하지 않아요
변명하지 않아요
다만 이것만 알아요
주님이
내 손을 잡고 계셨다는 걸

[Verse 3]
너무 조용하게 느껴지던 방들
비어 있는 의자들
부르지 못한 이름들
기억이 무겁게 남은 순간들
연약하고
부서진 순간들

그곳에서도
주님은 나와 함께 앉아 계셨어요
아픔을 고치려 하지 않으시고
슬픔을 재촉하지 않으시고
눈물이
흘러야 할 때
흐르게 두시며
내 마음이
신뢰를 배우게 하셨어요

[Chorus]
어둠 속에서도
미래의 시작이 보이지 않을 때에도
숨과 기도밖에 없을 때에도
주님은
나와 함께 계셨어요

내가 늙었다고 느낄 때
세상이 작고 지칠 때
나는 길을 잃지 않았고
끝나지 않았어요
주님이
처음부터
붙들고 계셨기 때문이에요

[Verse 4]
앞으로 올 세월도
그 고요함도
나는 두렵지 않아요
내가 덜 한다면
더 사랑하게 하시고
모든 것 속에서
쉬게 하소서

무언가를 남기거나
증명할 필요 없어요
내 삶이
이 말만 전한다면
나는 사랑받았고
나는 믿었어요
