Lord, help me to hold out [x3]
Until my change has come

[Verse:]
My way may not be easy
You did not say that it would be
But when it gets dark
Can't see my way
Told me to put my trust [x3] in Thee

[Bridge:]
Hold out
When my way gets weary I can
Hold out
Until my change comes

[Vamp:]
Hold out
Hold out, don't give up
Help is on the way

You've got to hold out, no doubt, that's what you gotta do
Somebody said it was hard, but that's not true
So try to never deny the power of God,
Just keep the faith, and let your head nod
'Cause I had friends who have strayed
And went the wrong way
Searching for fortune and fame
Selling caine by the day
Driving and striving to be a better man
Deliver this message so Atlanta can
Hold out
