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
