I was runnin' with the devil
I was, out of my mind
I was, out chasing something
I was never gonna find
But He reached down
Pulled me up, turned me around
I was lost, nowhere bound
Till He told me I was found
I got someone watching over me (over me)
He's blocking arrows from my enemies (enemies)
So tell me what is there to fear
When my Help is always near
I got all the proof I need
Looks like Heaven's got a hold on me
Should have been a goner
Should be in the ground
Shoulda been the one
Who never made it out
But He reached down
Pulled me up, turned me around
I was lost, nowhere bound
Till He told me I was found
I got someone watching over me (over me)
He's blocking arrows from my enemies (enemies)
So tell me what is there to fear
When my Help is always near
I got all the proof I need
Looks like Heaven's got a hold on me
Yeah the storms gon' rage (storms gon' rage)
And the weapons gonna form (weapons gonna form)
But they ain't no match (ain't no match)
No match for the Lord (no match for the Lord)
Yeah the wolves gon' howl (wolves gon' howl)
And the lions gonna roar (lions gonna roar)
But they ain't no match (they ain't no match)
No match for the Lord
I got someone watching over me (over me)
He's blocking arrows from my enemies (enemies)
So tell me what is there to fear
When my Help is always near
I got all the proof I need
Looks like Heaven's got a hold on me
Got a hold on me, hmm
Got a hold on me, hmm, eh
I was, out of my mind
I was, out chasing something
I was never gonna find
But He reached down
Pulled me up, turned me around
I was lost, nowhere bound
Till He told me I was found
I got someone watching over me (over me)
He's blocking arrows from my enemies (enemies)
So tell me what is there to fear
When my Help is always near
I got all the proof I need
Looks like Heaven's got a hold on me
Should have been a goner
Should be in the ground
Shoulda been the one
Who never made it out
But He reached down
Pulled me up, turned me around
I was lost, nowhere bound
Till He told me I was found
I got someone watching over me (over me)
He's blocking arrows from my enemies (enemies)
So tell me what is there to fear
When my Help is always near
I got all the proof I need
Looks like Heaven's got a hold on me
Yeah the storms gon' rage (storms gon' rage)
And the weapons gonna form (weapons gonna form)
But they ain't no match (ain't no match)
No match for the Lord (no match for the Lord)

💡 Song Meaning & Background
"Heaven's Got A Hold On Me" by Haley Jones is a contemporary Christian worship song that emphasizes the believer’s confidence in God’s protective presence and guidance, portraying faith as a steadfast anchor amid life’s uncertainties. The lyrics draw on biblical themes of divine care and sovereignty—echoing passages such as Psalm 91 and Isaiah 41—to remind listeners that God’s love and protection are constant, even when earthly circumstances feel unstable. The song’s simple, repetitive refrain reinforces the assurance that, regardless of trials, God’s hold remains unshakable.
