# I’M HOLDING TO HIS HAND

**[Opening — Rocking Devotional, Piano & B3]**

I’m holding to His hand,
Holding to His hand.
This road gets rough sometimes,
But I’m holding to His hand.

**[Choir]**
Hold on!
Hold on!

**[Verse 1 — Call & Response]**

When the road gets narrow—
*(I'm holding on!)*

And the hill gets steep—
*(I'm holding on!)*

When I sow in tears—
*(I'm holding on!)*

And I've got to wait to reap—
*(I'm holding on!)*

I made up my mind—
*(Hold on!)*

I ain't turning back—
*(Hold on!)*

Jesus brought me this far—
*(Hold on!)*

And I'm staying on the track—
*(Hold on!)*

**[Chorus]**

I'm holding!
*(To His hand!)*

I'm holding!
*(To His hand!)*

Through the good times—
*(To His hand!)*

Through the bad times—
*(To His hand!)*

I may bend,
But I won't let go.

I’m holding
**TO HIS HAND!**

**[Verse 2]**

Had to walk by faith—
*(Keep holding!)*

Couldn't see my way—
*(Keep holding!)*

Had to keep on praying—
*(Keep holding!)*

When I had nothing else to say—
*(Keep holding!)*

Then He made a way—
*(Look at God!)*

Right where there wasn't one—
*(Look at God!)*

And before I knew it—
*(Look at God!)*

That hard season was done—
*(Look at God!)*

**[Break — Tambourine & Handclaps]**

You gonna let go?

*(NO, I WON'T!)*

You gonna turn back?

*(NO, I WON'T!)*

You gonna stop praying?

*(NO, I WON'T!)*

You gonna keep trusting?

*(YES, I WILL!)*

**[DRIVE — Tempo Jumps]**

Hold on!
*(Don't let go!)*

Hold on!
*(Don't let go!)*

Hold tight!
*(Don't let go!)*

Keep the faith!
*(Don't let go!)*

Keep praying!
*(Don't let go!)*

Keep believing!
*(Don't let go!)*

Keep walking!
*(Don't let go!)*

Keep moving!
*(Don't let go!)*

**[Drive — Choir Gets Hot]**

Through the fire!
*(HOLD ON!)*

Through the rain!
*(HOLD ON!)*

Through the trouble!
*(HOLD ON!)*

Through the pain!
*(HOLD ON!)*

When they leave you!
*(HOLD ON!)*

When they doubt you!
*(HOLD ON!)*

When you can't see!
*(HOLD ON!)*

Just keep believing!
*(HOLD ON!)*

**[Final Drive — Modulate]**

I WON'T LET GO!
*(Hold to His hand!)*

I WON'T TURN BACK!
*(Hold to His hand!)*

I'VE COME TOO FAR!
*(Hold to His hand!)*

TO TURN AROUND!
*(Hold to His hand!)*

Holding!
*(To His hand!)*

Holding!
*(To His hand!)*

Holding!
*(To His hand!)*

**I'M HOLDING TO HIS HAND!**

*[B3 screams — piano walks up — tambourines driving — choir hits “HAND!” — hard stop]*
