The Mississippi Mass Choir
Holding On (and I Won’t Let Go My Faith)
[Chorus]
I'm just holding on
I'm just holding on
I'm just holding on;
Holding on and I won't let
Go my faith, go my faith

[Verse 1]
I believe in the Father and His Son
(holding on to my faith)
For I got the religion when I was very young
(holding on to my faith)
I'm a Christian
Thank God, saved by grace
(holding on to my faith)
I've had many hard trials running this race
And I'm (holding on to my faith)
Chorus

[Verse 2]
I've been ostracized
And I've been criticized yet I'm
(holding on to my faith)
The things I have to suffer
Bring tears to my eyes
Yet I'm (holding on to my faith)
[Vamp 1]
Satan is busy stirring up the wrath
Gathering stones to block my path
My enemies inflicting all the hurt they can
By throwing their rocks and hiding their hands
You dig one ditch, you better dig two
For the trap you set just might be for you
God put it in my heart and you can't take it
My soul's on fire and your word can't harm me
And I am...
(Working) working
(toiling) toiling
(hoping) hoping
(praying) praying
(waiting) waiting
(watching) watching
(fasting) fasting
(believing) believing
(repeat as desired)
Holding on and I won't let
Go my faith, go my faith

[Chorus 2]
I'm just holding on
Oh, holding on to my faith
I'm just holding on
Oh, holding on to my faith
(You can't stop me) you can't stop me
(you can't turn me) you can't turn me
(You may forsake me) you may forsake me
(you can't break me) you can't break me
Oh no, no, I won't let go
(repeat as desired)
Holding on and I won't let
Go my faith, go my faith
[Vamp 2]
I remember the day, I remember the hour
The Lord saved me with His holy power
Wish you had a been there when I came through
The church was on fire with the Holy Ghost too
I know for myself, I've been change
The angels in heaven done signed my name
In my feet
(repeat as desired)
In my hands
(repeat as desired)
In my heart
(repeat as desired)

[Vamp 3]
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

[Outro]
Holding on and I won't let
Go my faith, go my faith
