Williams Brothers – Holding On (And I Won't Let Go My Faith) lyrics

Holding On (And I Won't Let Go My Faith)
(recorded by Dorothy Love-Coates, The Williams Brothers, and Mississippi Mass Choir)
Chorus:
I'm just holding on
I'm just holding on
I'm just holding on
Holding on and I won't let go my faith
Go my faith
(Repeat)

I believe in the Father and His Son
Holding on to my faith
I got the religion when I was very young
Holding on to my faith
I'm a Christian saved by grace
Holding on to my faith
I've been through hard trials running this race
Holding on to my faith

(Repeat Chorus)

I've been ostracized and I've been criticized yet I am
Holding on to my faith
The things I have to suffer bring tears to my eyes
Holding on to my faith
Satan is busy stirring up wrath
Gathering stones to block my path
My enemies are inflicting all the hurt they can
By throwing rocks and hiding their hands
You dig one ditch you better dig two
For the trap you set just might be for you.
Lord put it in my heart and you can't take it
My soul's on fire and your word can't harm me and I am

Working
Toiling
Hoping
Praying
Waiting
Watching
Trusting
Believing (5xs) ([6]In the Father; [7] In the Son; [8] In the Holy Ghost)

Holding on and I want let go my faith
Go my faith

I just holding on
Oh
Holding on to my faith
(Repeat)

You can't stop me
You can't turn me
You may forsake me
You can't make me

No, no, no I won't let go (12xs)

Holding on and I won't let go my faith
Go my faith

I remember the day I remember the hour
The Lord saved me with His Holy power
Wish you had a been there when I came through
The church was on fire with the Holy Ghost too
I know for myself that I've been change
The angels in heaven done signed my name

He put runnin?
In my feet
He put clappin?
In my hand
In my heart He put (love, peace, joy)
In heart

Hold on (22xs)

Hold on
Hold on
(6xs)

Holding on and I won't let go my faith
Go my faith
