Backstory:

I heard a great sermon on perseverance the day after the Write About Jesus workshop in St. Louis, Oct. 2004.  The lyrics are my take on the sermon notes, intended to encourage those in any kind of ministry.

Lyrics:

                                                  
HOLD ON	

Verse 1
YOU’VE SAVORED THE AIR OF RARE ACHIEVEMENT
A MOUNTAIN YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU’D CLIMB
TASTED A BREATH OF FRESH PERSPECTIVE
UNFOLDED BENEATH SUSPENDED TIME

AND THOUGH YOU STILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT MOUNTAIN
AS YOU’RE GAZING FROM THE VALLEY BELOW
YOU STILL CLING TO THAT HEAVENLY VISION
SO AFRAID THAT YOU MIGHT LET IT GO

Chorus:
HOLD ON
HOLD ON
HOLD ON TO THE LOVE THAT KEEPS YOU STRONG
HOLD ON
HOLD ON
HE IS HOLDING ON TO YOU, SO HOLD ON

Verse 2
REMEMBER GOD WHISPERS THROUGH THE DARKNESS
 SHOWING THE WAY TO SHINE HIS LIGHT
 FILLED WITH WISDOM TO KEEP YOU FROM FALLING
AND HIS SPIRIT TO SING THROUGH THE NIGHT

 THOUGH YOU’RE SURROUNDED BY WAVES OF SUFFERING
FIGHTING WINDS OF A WORLD IN DECAY
FACING FLOODS OF STORMY EMOTIONS 
FEARING THE TIDE COULD JUST WASH YOU AWAY
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
NO OPPOSITION CAN OVERCOME YOU
NO ACCUSATION WILL FIND ITS REST
NO SITUATION CAN SEPARATE YOU
AND THERE’S NO BROKENNESS HE CANNOT BLESS, OH

CHORUS
TAG-
HE IS HOLDING ON TO YOU
HE’S YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR LIFE AND TRUTH
AND THE DAY THIS JOURNEY’S THROUGH
YOUR TEARS WILL BE GONE
SO HOLD ON…
