Chorus:

We lift our hands up

We?re singing hallelujah

We still stand up

From the ashes, we will rise up

We?re singing hallelujah


Verse 1:

When life has left us broken

When sorrow is our song

When hope feels like a memory

Still, I am holding on


Verse 2:

When promises lie shattered

When struggle rages on

When time is not the healer

That we?d relied upon

Still, I am holding on


Verse 3:

When courage fails to save us

When all our strength is gone

When pain cuts so much deeper

Than we were counting on

Still, I am holding on


Bridge:

Yes, You are love unending

You are where our help comes from

Yes, You are a faithful Father

You?re the rock we?re standing on

Yes, we are holding on
