They said I'd never make it 
They said I would not last a day 
They said when things got heated up 
I would get blown away 

But I'm still here Lord 
Still strong, and I'm still 

Holdin' on (every day), holdin' on (everyway) 
Holdin' on (every minute), Holdin' on (I'm still in it) 
I got strength to stand 
I'm holdin' on to God's unchangin' hand 

They said I was too fragile 
That livin' right was just a dream 
They said I didn't have the stuff 
To try and swim up stream 

But I'm still here Lord 
Still strong, and I'm still 

Holdin' on (through the fire), holdin' on (I'm goin' higher) 
Holdin' on (through the flood), Holdin' on (through the blood) 
I got strength to stand 
I'm holdin' on to God's unchangin' hand 

Through the darkness, and through the night 
I walk by faith and not by sight 

Because I'm hangin' on to God's Word 
Holdin' on for what I've heard 
Thinkin' through the mind of Christ 
Walkin' in the way that's right 

His promises are true, His love is everlasting 
His power is available only for the asking 
When you sow the Word, faith is what you reap 
You can be rough, tough, hard to bluff, if you keep 

Holdin' on (every day), holdin' on (everyway) 
Holdin' on (every minute), Holdin' on (I'm still in it) 
I got strength to stand 
I'm holdin' on to God's unchangin' hand 
I got strength to stand 
I'm holdin' on to God's unchangin' hand
