[D]
Just hold on,
[Am] [D] though the [G] clouds seem dark
We came here to tell somebody tonight
[D] Just hold on, though your [A] way [E] seems [A] hard
Can I tell somebody on this [F#m] side
[A] If [D] you'll just hold [F#m] on
Y'all don't know it, but [D] you're looking at a witness
The sun will [G] shine again
In fact, [D] I can see a light
[A] Just [D] around the [G] bend
[D] So the nightingale's somebody tell you that
[Em] All you gotta [D] do is [F#m] hold on
If you [D] hold on, the gods unchanging hand
[G] God will win the fight
Is there anybody here that's ever been brought out of a storm?
Then you know what I'm talking about, hear me [D] say
Hold on, it will be [A] alright
See, God [E] stands at the beginning
[A] Then he looks all the way down at the end
So God [D] already knows
Can I get me a witness in here tonight?
Exactly [G] what to do
So in spite of how dark it seems
We [D] stopped by to tell somebody to hold
[A] on
He's one to [G] see
[D] My time [G] has come and gone
[D] But I sense that somebody needs to hear me [Em] say
[D] Sometimes [F#m] it seems
I can really [Am] talk about this more
[D] Like all [G] hope is gone
Anybody ever been there?
Just remember, [D] God has promised
He won't leave [A] you [E] alone
[C#m]
[A] Somebody in the midst of a storm tonight, [F#m] you'll appreciate [G] this
[D] Although it may seem hard
[Am] God told [D] me to tell y'all
Stand [G] on God's word
You know why?
Cause the battle [D] is not [D] yours
[A] [F#m] [Em] It belongs [D] to the Lord
[G] Grab [D] hold to God's hand
Shake it, hand [Em] it, just [D] hold on
I [F#m] don't care what it look like in here
[D] God will win
[G] I want to talk to somebody in here that can relate to me
Because at one time, just like me, you were down and out
But tonight, get [D] up and you can testify
That you can't get [D] too low
To where God can't reach down and pick you [A] up
And turn you around [E] and place your feet on the [A] ground
[F#m] He [Em] knows
[D] Boy, I wish I had [F#m] at least one witness in here
[Am] He [D] knows exactly where to turn
[G] Hold on, hold on, hold on
Just [D] hold [A] on
He's going to see [E] [D] you Through
Look at somebody and say, hold [Bm] on [G] Hold on
Look at them and say, hold [D] on Hold on
You don't know what you're doing
Because some of y'all think that it takes the educated phrases that get you over
Some of y'all think that it's the 16 or 17 letter words that get you through
But sometimes you just simply need to have somebody walk up to you, look you dead in the eye and say Hold [G] on [C] [G] Tell somebody
Say hold [D] on
And I dare not try to leave out of here tonight without telling y'all what my mama used to tell us
When we were nothing but little bitty children and when our back was showing up against the wall
And we were right smack dab in the center of a storm
And most importantly some of those so-called friends that had promised my mama that they were going to be with her even until the end
When we got right in the center of our storm, y'all know exactly what happened
They vanished on my mama
But then my mama would look at all of those 15 head of children and say
He may not come exactly when you want him to
But he's on hold [G] Hold
Just hold on,
[Am] [D] though the [G] clouds seem dark
We came here to tell somebody tonight
[D] Just hold on, though your [A] way [E] seems [A] hard
Can I tell somebody on this [F#m] side
