Still Holding On — Dirt Road Gospel Music

TrustAssuranceHopeCourage

A worship song for the long night, the prayer that will not form, and the loved one you cannot stop carrying. These seven days trace Romans 12:12 through honest weakness, shared burdens, and stubborn prayer before the faithful God.

"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)"
Hebrews 10:23

A song for the road you're on.

Still Holding On

[Verse 1]
It's late again and I'm still awake
Staring at the ceiling, hands that ache
The words I used to pray so easy
Feel like they're stuck somewhere in me

[Pre-Chorus]
But I remember what You said
Don't hide it, don't run from it
Just three things, held in the same hand

[Chorus]
I'll be joyful in hope
Even when I don't feel it
Patient in affliction
Even when the night is long
Faithful in prayer
Even when the words don't come
I'm still here
I'm still holding on

[Verse 2]
There's a friend I carry in my chest
A hallway and a machine that breathes
A cousin fighting quiet battles
Somewhere I can't reach

So I bring them with me when I kneel
'Cause faithful means I show up for what's real
Even when I've got nothing left to give

[Chorus]
I'll be joyful in hope
Even when I don't feel it
Patient in affliction
Even when the night is long
Faithful in prayer
Even when the words don't come
I'm still here
I'm still holding on

[Bridge]
I don't always feel the hope I sing about
I don't always trust the waiting out
But I choose it anyway
I choose it anyway
Lord, I choose it anyway

[Final Chorus]
So I'll be joyful in hope
'Cause You never let it go
Patient in affliction
'Cause You're patient with my soul
Faithful in prayer
Even when the words don't come
You're still here
I'm still holding on
I'm still holding on
