They said I wouldn't make it

They said I wouldn't be here today

They said I never amount to anything

But I'm glad to say, that I'm on my way

And I'm going more and more each day

There were many that started out with me

But now, they've gone astray

But I'm still holding on

I'm still holding on

I'm still holding to his hand

You see when I was young,

I gave God my hand

And I told him to lead the way

Though the road has been rough

And the goings been mighty tough, still

I ain't going Nowhere,

I'm right here to stay

Though I've been talked about and

Oh I've been criticized

I had to wipe many tears from my eyes

But I'm still holding on

I'm still holding on

I'm still holding on to his hand

(And I'm still)

I'm still holding on (Holding On)

(Yes I'm still in God's holy plan

(I'm still) I'm still

holding on (holding on)

(And I'm bound for the promise land)

(I will never) I will never let (I'll

never let go of His hand) go of His hand

(Through trials and

tribulations I'm still)

I'm still holding on (Holding On)

(Yes I'm still in God's holy plan Though

you've scandalized my name I'm still)

I'm still holding on (holding on)

(And I'm bound for the promise land)

(I will never) I will never let (I'll

never let go of His hand) go of His hand

(I will never) I will never let (I'll

never let go of His hand) go of His hand

(I will never) I will never let (I'll

never let go of His hand) go of His hand
