Mississippi Mass Choir – Holding On (And I Won't Let Go My Faith) lyrics

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.

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).

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.

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).

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.

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)

Hold on, hold on.

Hold on, hold on.

Holding on and I won't let
go my faith, go my faith.

"Holding On (And I Won't Let Go My Faith) Reprise"

Oh no, no, I won't let go.

Oh no,
oh no.
