Just Hold On

I wrote this song a while ago and Yakyn was helping me put music to it, but it was never finished. Maybe someday I can get around to finishing it. Anyway, I thought I would share the lyrics with you.



Just Hold On

You’ve lived a life of shame and dread
Only to find you’re bruised and broken
Your past just keeps replaying in your head
Your loved ones warned you not to go
Walking the path, the path that you chose
Now you can’t see a hope through all your tears

Chorus:
When your soul is aching
And your heart is breaking
And your world is quaking
Just hold on
When your feet are stumbling
And you’ve started wondering
If the hands that held you
Are going to stay strong
Just hold on

Your world of dreams is crashing down
Finding yourself was all that mattered
Your future seemed brighter all around
Your loved ones begged you not to go
Treading the path, the path that you chose
It’s the one you’ve journeyed all these years

Chorus:
When your soul is aching
And your heart is breaking
And your world is quaking
Just hold on
When your feet are stumbling
And you’ve started wondering
If the hands that held you
Are going stay strong
Just hold on

So when your heart is straining
And your breath is fleeting
You cry out…
I’ve surrendered in my shame
There is no one left to blame
I try to run and hide my pain
Yet every time I turn around
It is always there again

Chorus:
When your soul is aching
And your heart is breaking
And your world is quaking
Just hold on
When your feet are stumbling
And you’ve started wondering
If the hands that held you
Are going to stay strong
Just hold on

In God’s loving arms you have found
You never knew your heart could change
Nor all of your sins that He forgave
Your loved ones welcomed you back home
Abandoning the path, the path that you chose
It’s the one you’ve traveled full of tears

Now that He has opened your eyes
You see…
That He has healed your aching soul
And He has made your broken heart whole
And He has stilled your world
He has stilled your world
Just Hold on

Cause He is holding on to you
He is holding on to you
Just hold on
