If I just hold my peace,
let the lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith through the night

I've seen the lightning flashing, heard the thunder roll
I feel the cold winds blowing,
trying to conquer my soul

If I just hold my peace,
let the lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith through the night

I hear the voice of reason, telling me to fight on
'cause I know I've come too far to turn around

Weeping may endure for a night,
but joy is gonna come tomorrow
though i go through the fire,
I shall come out as pure gold
when problems come just keep the faith,
it won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just,
just stand your ground

If I just hold my peace,
let the lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith through the night

I only have to keep the faith,
I only have to keep the faith,
the faith
