FATHER, HELP ME HOLD ON

Father, I’m tired.
I don’t know what to do.
I’ve carried this pain
As far as I can.

I’ve tried to be strong.
I’ve tried not to fall.
But tonight I’m admitting
I need You through it all.

I don’t need all the answers.
Just enough light to see.
Give me strength for one more step.
Stay here with me.

When I cannot feel You,
Help me still believe.
When my heart is breaking,
Remind me You’re with me.

Hold on, hold on,
You’re not walking alone.
When you’ve got nothing left,
God will carry you home.

Hold on, hold on,
Through the darkest night.
One breath, one step,
Keep walking toward the light.

When your heart says, “Give up,”
Let His love say, “Not tonight.”

Hold on, hold on—
God is with you through the night.

Some days I wake up
Already feeling worn.
Smiling for the world
While walking through a storm.

There are prayers I’ve whispered
With tears upon my face.
Wondering if You hear me
In this lonely place.

But silence doesn’t mean
That You have gone away.
When I cannot face tomorrow,
Give me strength for today.

Hold on, hold on,
You’re not walking alone.
When you’ve got nothing left,
God will carry you home.

Hold on, hold on,
Through the darkest night.
One breath, one step,
Keep walking toward the light.

When your heart says, “Give up,”
Let His love say, “Not tonight.”

Hold on, hold on—
God is with you through the night.

Father, for the one crying tonight,
Give them peace.

For the one who feels forgotten,
Let them know they are seen.

For the one who sees no way forward,
Give them one more step.

For the one whispering,
“I cannot do this anymore,”
Give them courage to say,
“I can make it through today.”

Let Your love rise above the fear.
Let Your peace become louder than the pain.
Breathe courage into every weary heart
And help them rise again.

I will breathe again.
I will stand again.
I will hope again.
I will live again.

Not because the storm is gone.
Not because I understand.

But because, Father,
You are still here.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON!
YOU’RE NOT WALKING ALONE!
When you’ve got nothing left,
GOD WILL CARRY YOU HOME!

HOLD ON, HOLD ON!
Morning follows the night!
ONE BREATH! ONE STEP!
KEEP WALKING TOWARD THE LIGHT!

When your heart says, “Give up,”
Let His love say, “NOT TONIGHT!”

Hold on!
Hold on!

God is with you—
And He won’t let you go.

One breath.
One step.
One day at a time.

Hold on.

God is with you tonight.
