Lyrics:

I’ve been ostracised and criticised but I’m
(Holding on to my faith)
The things I have to suffer bring tears to my eyes but 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 bettеr dig two
For the trap you set just may be for you
God put it in my hеart and you can’t take it
My soul’s on fire and your word can’t harm me
I’m (working) working
(Toiling) toiling
(Praying) praying
(Hoping) hoping
(Waiting) waiting
(Watching) watching
(Trusting) trusting
(Believing) believing
(Praying) praying
(Praying) praying
(Praying) praying
(Praying) praying in the morning
(Praying) praying at noon
I’m holding on and I won’t let go
Of my faith (of my faith)

Holding (I’m holding on)
Ooh, I’m holding to my faith
Can I get a witness here this evening?
I’m just holding on
Oh, holding on to my faith
I’m just holding on
Oh, holding on to my faith

Children, I don’t care
I’m gonna keep the faith (I’m holding on)
I’m gonna keep the faith (I’m holding to my faith)
I’m gonna keep the faith (I’m holding on)
To Jesus (I’m holding to my faith)

Now children, you can’t stop me (you can’t stop me)
You can’t turn me (you can’t turn me)
You may forsake me (forsake me)
But God knows you can’t make me (you can’t make me)
I won’t let go (won’t let go, let go)
I won’t let go (won’t let go, let go)
I’m holding on (and I won’t let go of my faith)

Remember the day, remember the hour
The Lord saved me with His holy power
Wish you could have been there when I came through
The church was on fire with the Holy Ghost too
I know for myself that I’ve been changed
The angels in heaven done signed my name
He put the running (in my feet) in my feet
He put the courage (in my head) in my head
He put the shouting (in my heart) in my heart
He took doubt (from my mind) from my mind

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, when the storm comes
Hold on, when the wind blows
Hold on, when you’re blue
Hold on, when you’re scorned
Hold on, when you’re mistreated
Hold on, hold on
Hold it, hold it
Hold it, hold it
Till I’m holding on
Won’t let go of my faith
Won’t let go (of my faith)

I’ve been ostracised and criticised but I’m
(Holding on to my faith)
The things I have to suffer bring tears to my eyes but 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 bettеr dig two
For the trap you set just may be for you
God put it in my hеart and you can’t take it
My soul’s on fire and your word can’t harm me
I’m (working) working
(Toiling) toiling
(Praying) praying
(Hoping) hoping
(Waiting) waiting
(Watching) watching
(Trusting) trusting
(Believing) believing
(Praying) praying
(Praying) praying
(Praying) praying
(Praying) praying in the morning
(Praying) praying at noon
I’m holding on and I won’t let go
Of my faith (of my faith)

Holding (I’m holding on)
Ooh, I’m holding to my faith
Can I get a witness here this evening?
I’m just holding on
Oh, holding on to my faith
I’m just holding on
Oh, holding on to my faith

Children, I don’t care
I’m gonna keep the faith (I’m holding on)
I’m gonna keep the faith (I’m holding to my faith)
I’m gonna keep the faith (I’m holding on)
To Jesus (I’m holding to my faith)

Now children, you can’t stop me (you can’t stop me)
You can’t turn me (you can’t turn me)
You may forsake me (forsake me)
But God knows you can’t make me (you can’t make me)
I won’t let go (won’t let go, let go)
I won’t let go (won’t let go, let go)
I’m holding on (and I won’t let go of my faith)

Remember the day, remember the hour
The Lord saved me with His holy power
Wish you could have been there when I came through
The church was on fire with the Holy Ghost too
I know for myself that I’ve been changed
The angels in heaven done signed my name
He put the running (in my feet) in my feet
He put the courage (in my head) in my head
He put the shouting (in my heart) in my heart
He took doubt (from my mind) from my mind

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, when the storm comes
Hold on, when the wind blows
Hold on, when you’re blue
Hold on, when you’re scorned
Hold on, when you’re mistreated
Hold on, hold on
Hold it, hold it
Hold it, hold it
Till I’m holding on
Won’t let go of my faith
Won’t let go (of my faith)
