Hold On Child

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came in worn and thin Shoes got dust on the toes But I heard that old bell ring Right down in my bones Mama said, "Child, keep on" When the road gets mean So I held my head up high And I walked on in [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it now Something changing me Every burden in my hands Losing its grip on me [Chorus] Hold on, child, hold on (hold on, child) Hold on, child, hold on (one more mile) He brought me through the fire And He'll bring you home Hold on, child, hold on (hold on, child, hold on) [Verse 2] Muddy river on my left Heavy chain on my right Still I sang my way through Till the morning light Old saints leaned back and smiled When I lifted mine They said, "Baby, that same hand Still can heal in time" [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it now Something changing me Every burden in my hands Losing its grip on me [Chorus] Hold on, child, hold on (hold on, child) Hold on, child, hold on (one more mile) He brought me through the fire And He'll bring you home Hold on, child, hold on (hold on, child, hold on) [Bridge] If your knees go weak tonight Let the floor hear your praise If your mouth can't find the words Let your tears make the way I been low, I been bent But I ain't left His side Now I sing with this rough voice And I testify [Final Chorus] Hold on, child, hold on (hold on, child) Hold on, child, hold on (one more mile) He brought me through the fire And He'll bring you home Hold on, child, hold on (hold on, child, hold on) Hold on, child, hold on (hold on, child) Hold on, child, hold on (hold on, child, hold on)
