Dwight Yoakam - Hold On To God lyrics

(Dwight Yoakam)

Written and performed for my mother, Ruth Ann, without whose love and support I would not have survived at three months or thirty years of age. Your hands will always guide my heart.

Chorus:

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God

And not the ways of the world

Hold on, hold on and put your trust

In His everlasting Word

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God

In this life's storm-tossed sea

Cling to Jesus, His lifeline

It will salvation bring

Satan shall lead down a pathway of sin

Away from your heavenly home

With many great wonders, many great signs

Deceiving all but the strong

Chorus:

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God

And not the ways of the world

Hold on, hold on and put your trust

In His everlasting Word

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God

In this life's storm-tossed sea

Cling to Jesus, His lifeline

It will salvation bring

Be not misled by miraculous deeds

Performed in the name of the Lamb

For He shall return as a thief in the night

To claim his own once again

Chorus:

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God

And not the ways of the world

Hold on, hold on and put your trust

In His everlasting Word

Hold on, hold on, hold on to God

In this life's storm-tossed sea

Cling to Jesus, His lifeline

It will salvation bring
