Lyrics
I feel like I'm living on the edge
One more wrong step
And I'm falling off life's edge
I can't go back, the past is dead
So I will move forward
Put my trust in You instead
Chorus 1:
I'll hold on to you
I'll hold on to you
Lord, no matter where I am
I'll hold on to your hand
I'll hold on to you
Verse 2
Sometimes I can't hold back the tears
When I'm buried by
The landslide of fears
When the weight of the world has me down
I cling to Your promise
And stand on solid ground.
Chorus 1:
I'll hold on to you
I'll hold on to you
Lord, no matter where I am
I'll hold on to your hand
I'll hold on to you
Bridge 1:
Sometimes you seem so far away
(You know that I'm near)
Some days I can't see your face
(But I see you clear)
In times when all my strength is gone
(Mine's more than enough)
When I don't think I can carry on
Chorus 2:
I'll hold on to you
I'll hold on to you
No matter where you are
You'll be safe in my arms
I'll hold on to you.
Bridge 2:
I'm really not that far away
(I know You're near)
One day you'll see Me face to face
(I'll see You clear)
I'm not weak, but I am strong
(You're more than enough)
I'll carry you when you can't go on
Chorus 2:
Chorus 1:
I'll hold on to you
I'll hold on to you
No matter where I am
I'll hold on to Your hand
