Holdin' On

They said I'd never make it They said I would not last a day They said when things got heated up I would get blown away But I'm still here Lord Still strong, and I'm still Holdin' on (every day), holdin' on (everyway) Holdin' on (every minute), Holdin' on (I'm still in it) I got strength to stand I'm holdin' on to God's unchangin' hand They said I was too fragile That livin' right was just a dream They said I didn't have the stuff To try and swim up stream But I'm still here Lord Still strong, and I'm still Holdin' on (through the fire), holdin' on (I'm goin' higher) Holdin' on (through the flood), Holdin' on (through the blood) I got strength to stand I'm holdin' on to God's unchangin' hand Through the darkness, and through the night I walk by faith and not by sight Because I'm hangin' on to God's Word Holdin' on for what I've heard Thinkin' through the mind of Christ Walkin' in the way that's right His promises are true, His love is everlasting His power is available only for the asking When you sow the Word, faith is what you reap You can be rough, tough, hard to bluff, if you keep Holdin' on (every day), holdin' on (everyway) Holdin' on (every minute), Holdin' on (I'm still in it) I got strength to stand I'm holdin' on to God's unchangin' hand I got strength to stand I'm holdin' on to God's unchangin' hand --- Holdin' On - Carman
