Hold On Old Soldiers

Don't worry, tired soldier
You have the Lord's shoulder
To lean upon when you feel weak
And you'll never grow weary
Give your strength to Him

You may be feeling a little discouraged (sing, Walter!)
Or just looking for some kind of sign
To reassure you that He's not forgotten
But remember your past, whenever you ask
He was right there

Right there to carry you through
He was right there
Right there, opening doors for you
Because He's faithful
Faithful in every way

So, hold on, old soldier (don't you ever give up)
Hold on, old soldier (hang on in there)
Hold on, old soldier

Don't worry, tired soldier
You have the Lord's shoulder
To lean upon when you feel weak
And you'll never grow weary
Give your strength to Him

You may be feeling kind of discouraged (alright)
Or just looking for some kind of sign
To reassure you that He's not forgotten
But remember your past, whenever you ask
God was right there

Right there to carry you through (right)
Right there (opening doors)
Opening doors for you (because He's faithful)
Faithful in every way (hey)

So, hold on, old soldier (keep the faith)
Hold on, old soldier (and stay in the race)
Hold on, old soldier

Listen!
When you get up off of your knees (hey!)
And the world you must face
Remember the angels of God
Surround you by His grace

And your heart may be aching
But He's sitting there waiting
You're wondering what to do
Then the Lord said to you, "I'm right here"

Right here to carry you through (I'm right here)
Right here, opening doors for you ('cause He's faithful)
Faithful in every way (hold)
Hold on, old soldier (hang on in there, hang on in there)
Hold on, old soldier (don't you ever give up, don't you ever give up)
Hold on, old soldier (it might get a little rough sometimes, but)
Hold on, old soldier (you can make it, you can take it)

Hold on, old soldier (because the race is not given)
Hold on, old soldier (to the swift nor the strong)
Hold on, old soldier (but it's given to the one)
Hold on, old soldier (that will endure it to the end, come on!)
Hold on, old soldier (you need to know you can make it)
Hold on, old soldier (you need to know you can take it)

Hold on, old soldier (there's joy coming in the morning)
Hold on, old soldier (I said joy is coming in the morning)
Hold on, old soldier (joy is coming in the morning)
Hold on, old soldier (so, hang on in there, hang on in there)

Hold on, old soldier (they that wait upon the Lord)
Hold on, old soldier (shall renew, shall renew their strength)
Hold on, old soldier (and they shall mount up with wings as eagles)
Hold on, old soldier (they shall run and never get weary)

Even in the dark hour (oh yeah)
And hold (hold on)
Hold on, hold on, hey (yes, God, hallelujah!)
Yeah, hallelujah! Whoa, yes!
