I've found love

I've found peace in my life

I've found joy

That no one can describe

When I lay down to sleep


There's a voice inside keeps telling me

Something that I ought to do

You've got to hold on to Jesus

When your heart is crying, your world is dying

You've got to hold on to Jesus

When your life has had enough


I've had pain

And like everyone else

I've been tempted

To only live for myself

When I lay down to sleep


And as time goes by, the tick of the clock is not enough for me

And as time goes by, I'll give Jesus my allegiance



You and me and we've got to hold on

You and me and we've got to hold on

You and me and we've got to hold on

Hold on to Jesus
