Just hang on

Just hang on

When life gets so tough and dreary
And your hopes and dreams go awry
When the future looks dim and scary
Just hang on, the Lord has a remedy

When your burden is much too heavy
And tears just keep falling endlessly
When you’re broken, lost and lonely
Hang on, God is holding you firmly

When you long for friends and family
To be by your side, come what may
To see your worth and human dignity
Hang on, God loves you unconditionally

When you hurt and suffer unjustly
From the punches of the wily enemy
Hang on and call upon the Almighty
He promised to give you the victory

When the world gets wild and crazy
With distorted values and morality
Corrupting souls with such intensity
Just hang on, God holds your destiny

When life is threatened by calamity
By pestilence, war and catastrophe
And you are being choked by anxiety
Hang on, God promised you eternity
