Hold On

I've prayed for a friend
For a very long, long time
That he'd open his heart to Christ

But the stumbling block grows bigger
And it's heavier each day
And I'm too small to move it
Out of the way

And conversations start
And they end with more questions
Questions are good
They're alright

I try to convince him
God is the Great I Am
He did not leave us alone
But I'd do better
Finding water in a stone

Then I say
Hold on
Hold on
I say hold on
Let the Blessings come

I call to check up
On a friend who's 83
He needs prayer and sympathy

His pain is so intense
I can see it in his eyes
And he asks me not to say a thing

But his faith does not waver
His love for God intense
Yet he questions why won't healing come
And I search for an answer
I stutter and stammer
I'd do better
Finding water in a stone

Then I say
Hold on
Yeah, hold on
I say hold on
Let the Blessings come

It's not easy to define
So hard to accept
The Sovereign Will of God
From the garden to the desert
From the cradle to the cross
I believe He pursues the best in us

I've searched all His stories
From every different angle
He operates solely from Love

And in all the hard places
Not by sight but by senses
I've found springs of water
Under the Rock

So I hold on
Yeah I hold on
Mhmm, hold on

Hold on
I hold on
And let the blessings come

Let the blessings come
