You’ve got to hold on...

‘You’ve got to hold on’

Sometimes it’s hard

When you can’t see the end in sight

But you keep on telling yourself

‘You’ve got to hold on’

Sometimes …

Even when you have all the answers

Still nothing seems to add up

You keep telling yourself

‘You’ve got to hold on’

When friends have gone,

And silence reigns

The rustle of the leaves

The whisper of the wind

Softly echoes the refrain

‘Child You’ve got to hold on’

 

By the skin of your teeth,

By the seat of your pants

Through stormy gale,

And fiery furnace

I am with you...

So yes! ‘You’ve got to hold on’

‘Cos when all’s said and done

The curtain’s been drawn

When the night has passed

And the tears have dried

I promise you this my child

I promise you that you will look back

Down the passage of time

And the words, the encore

That will resonate in your heart:

Thank God the one who said to my soul

Don’t give up; don’t give in;

You’ve got to hold on’

If you are holding on, don’t give up!

If you are hoping, don’t give up hope!

 If you are believing, don’t give up believing!

For your weeping may endure for a night

But in the morning, joy will come,

Again I say, ‘You’ve got to hold on…’

Psalm 30:5

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life;

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
