[Verse 1:]

Don't worry tired soldier,

you have the Lord's shoulder

to lean upon when you feel weak

and you'll never grow weary,

give your strength to Him. 



[Verse 2:]

You may be feeling a little discouraged,

or just looking for some kind of sign

to reassure you that He's not forgotten,

but remember your past whenever you ask,

He was right there...



[Chorus:]

Right there to carry you through,

right there opening doors for you,

faithful in every way; 

so hold on old soldier,

hold on old soldier,

hold on old soldier.



[Verse]



[Chorus]



[Bridge:]

(When you get up off of your knees)

(and the world you must face),

(remember the angels of God),

(surrounds you by His grace).



Your heart may be aching,

but He's sitting there waiting;

you're wondering what to do,

(then the Lord said to you, "I'm right here...")



Right here to carry you through,

right here opening doors for you,

faithful in every way....



[Vamp:]

Hold on old soldier.

Hold on old soldier.



[Ending:]

Hold on.
