Verse 1 (Lead): Woke up this mornin’ with a weight on my chest Dark clouds rollin’, Lord, I ain’t had no rest Knees hit the floor but the words wouldn’t come Just a whisper in the silence sayin’ son don’t run Tears on the pages of a worn-out Bible Faith feel shaky but I’m still Your child Through the pain and the fight I hear it clear tonight You been down long enough, get up and rise Pre-Chorus (Lead): When the night feels too heavy to bear And you’re callin’ out, feels like nobody’s there Chorus Lead: Hold on to the light Even when you can’t see right Through the storm and the fire You’re gonna rise up higher Just hold on to the light Hold on through the pain Joy is comin’ again Heaven hears every cry You’re gonna make it out alive Just hold on to the light Choir (background, layered under lead): Hold on, hold on We believe, we believe Rise up higher Don’t you let go It’s comin’, I know Verse 2 (Lead): I been walkin’ through valleys so deep Where the shadows whisper lies to me Still I feel a hand when I lose my way Guidin’ every step when I start to stray Old scars ache when the rain comes down But grace keeps liftin’ me off the ground I ain’t perfect, Lord, but I’m tryin’ still And Your love keeps bendin’ this broken will Pre-Chorus (Lead): When your soul feels tired and worn And you’re wonderin’ what you’re holdin’ on for Chorus (repeat same structure): Lead: Hold on to the light Even when you can’t see right Through the storm and the fire You’re gonna rise up higher Just hold on to the light Hold on through the pain Joy is comin’ again Heaven hears every cry You’re gonna make it out alive Just hold on to the light Choir (background): Hold on, hold on We believe, we believe Rise up higher Don’t you let go It’s comin’, I know Bridge (Lead → Choir builds behind): I seen miracles in the midnight hour Broken men find a higher power If you’re barely breathin’, He’s still there Lift your voice, He hears your prayer (Choir layered, swelling): Ohhhh… don’t give up now Ohhhh… you’re too close now Final Chorus (bigger, same structure): Lead: Hold on to the light Even when you can’t see right Through the storm and the fire You’re gonna rise up higher Just hold on to the light Hold on through the pain Joy is comin’ again Heaven hears every cry You’re gonna make it out alive Just hold on to the light Choir (full, behind lead): Hold on, hold on We believe, we believe Rise up higher Don’t you let go It’s comin’, I know Outro (Lead, soft): Just hold on… Don’t you let go… Light’s still shinin’… lights still shinin... ohhhh thank you lord...
