Hold on



I've been there a thousand times
Felt the rain like a thousand knives and it hurts
I know it hurts
I've been there like a fighter plane
Trying to fly my way through a hurricane and it's hard
I know it's hard
Don't be afraid
You'll make it through
Just call out to me
And I'll come running to you

Hold on
Hold on
When the current pulls you under
And your heart beats like thunder
Just give me your hand
And hold on
Hold on until the storm is over
And I'll be fighting for you
Just give me your hand
And hold on

I'll give you hope
I'll give you faith
And if it's dark
I'll light the way for you
For you
By your side until the end
Until you're standing tall again
I'm here
I'll always be here
Always be here and if the tide sweeps you out to sea
When your strength is gone and it's hard to believe

Hold on
Hold on
When the current pulls you under
And your heart beats like thunder
Just give me your hand
And hold on
Hold on until the storm is over
And I'l be fighting for you
Just give me your hand
And hold on

"When you pass through the waters"
Deep the waves may be and cold,
But Jehovah is our refudge,
And His promise is our hold;
For the Lord Himself has said it,
He, the faithful God and true;
"When you come to the waters
You will not go down, BUT THROUGH

Seas of sorrow, seas of trial,
Bitter anguish, fiercest pain,
Rolling surges of temptation
Sweeping over heart and brain
They will never overflow us
For we know His word is true;
All His waves and all His billows
He will lead us safely THROUGH.

Threatening breakers of destruction,
Doubt's insidious undertow,
Will not sink us, will not drag us
Out to ocean depths of woe;
For His promise will sustain us,
Praise the Lord, whose Word is true!
We will not go down, or under,
For He says, "You will pass THROUGH"
~Annie Johnson Flint

The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.
~George Muller

Faith is not a sense, nor sight, nor reason, but simply taking God at His word.
~Christmas Evans
