HANGING ON

HANGING ON

In life we have our troubles
When everything seems to go wrong,
When getting up and starting over
Seems way too hard; but we go along

Spured on by our faith
That things will turn out right,
The struggles may be many
But we keep walking in the light.

God's love will cleanse and save us,
Our faith will endure,
Whatever be the struggles
There's nothing God can't cure!

We can feel his tender mercy
As we keep hanging on,
Soon our cares will vanish,
Our troubles will be gone!
