Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Fear has me surrounded

But I feel your love pulling me close 

Doubt hides me in darkness

But I know you?re here in the unknown

?Cause I?ve been face to face with defeat

But each time you?ve brought me the victory


So I'm holding onto hope                    

When everything around me

Is out of my control

Oh, I know 

The One who holds my soul

Will never let me down and

Will never let me go

So I?m holding on to hope

   

Peace will be my fortress

My future is safe in your hands

I believe your goodness

Will find me here right where I am

?Cause I?ve been face to face with defeat

But each time you?ve brought me the victory


When my strength has been stolen

When I?m empty and broken in two

OOH OOH OOH OOH

When I?m thrown in the fire

I know that you?ll carry me through

Cause you always do
