Hold On and Be Ready

[Verse 1] A tear is falling to the ground, bearing so much grief and pain, but in heaven, high above, Father’s waiting once again. Sees the wounds that lie so deep, sees your heart in darkest night, sees the shadows of your cares, and stays with you to bring light. [Verse 2] When your nights are heavy and cold, when all the tears flow, when you feel worn and old. [Chorus] Sees the sorrow, all the pain, stretches out His arms so wide, wants to comfort, wants to say: Hold on tight, be still, be ready. For after pain and all the grief joy will enter in your heart, makes you feather‑light and free, on this path though torn apart. [Verse 3] When the darkness tries to swallow, steals your hope and steals your grace, when the whispers try to tell you you will never win this race. But when storms inside you’re breathing, hold on tight to His strong hand, lift your gaze toward heaven’s throne, stand with Him in fire’s land. [Pre-Chorus] When old scars start burning deep within again, His near, tender presence walks you through the night to dawn. [Chorus] All the darkness has to fade, light streams through your soul and mind, and His love will carry you, leaving all your fear behind. For after pain and all the grief joy will enter in your heart, makes you feather‑light and free, on this path though torn apart. [Bridge] And His arms enfold you gently, in His presence you are free, learning as you fall to trust Him, He goes on ahead of thee. When you waver, when you doubt Him, when your faith can barely stand, His sweet comfort will restore you, step by step He holds your hand. [Chorus] All the darkness has to fade, light streams through your soul and mind, and His love will carry you, leaving all your fear behind. For after pain and all the grief joy will enter in your heart, makes you feather‑light and free, on this path though torn apart. [Verse 4] And His arms enfold you softly, safe and sheltered you may lie, carried by His endless mercy, let your weary heart rest nigh. [Verse 5] Thinking of tomorrow, filled with care and sorrow, be sure in His light: God keeps you in sight. [Verse 6] In asking and thanking, there is no more shaking, be sure of His grace: He will not leave this place. [Verse 7] And when you seek peace, far past what we know, He longs to bestow it, so your heart comes to rest. [Outro] For after pain and all the grief joy will enter in your heart, makes you feather‑light and free, on this path though torn apart. His great love will carry you, and in Him you now may rest.
