They said I wouldn't make it, 

They said I wouldn't be here today. 

They said I wouldn't amount to anything. 

But I'm glad to say, that I'm on my way, 

And I'm going more and more each day. 

For there were many that started out with me, 

But now, they've gone astray. 

But I'm still holding on. 

I'm still holding on. 

I'm still holding to his hand. 

You see when I was young, I gave God my hand, 

And i told him to lead the way. 

For the road has been rough 

And the goings been mighty tough, still 

I aint going Nowhere, I'm right here to stay. 

For I've been talked about and Lord I've been criticized. 

I had to wipe many tears from my eyes. 

But I'm still holding on. 

I'm still holding on. 

I'm still holding on to his hand. 



Chorus: 

I'm still holding on. 

Yes I'm still in God's holy plan. 

And I'm still holding on. 

And I'm bound for God's promise land. 

Lord I'll never- never let go of your hand. 

Though I've been talked about and criticized... 

(Repeat Chorus)
