Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh [x4]
My faith is stronger than it's ever been before
And I will forever keep my eyes on you
You hold the world in the palm of your hand
And you know my ending way before I begin
So no matter what comes my way
I will never lose my way
I will keep holding on
To you
And nothing can separate us
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh [x4]
My faith is stronger than it's ever been before
And I will forever keep my eyes on you
You hold the world in the palm of your hand
And you know my ending way before I begin
So no matter what comes my way
I will never lose my way
I will keep holding on
To you
And nothing can separate us
You are the source of my strength
You are the strength of my life
You are my shepherd and I have no fear
I'm holding on to you
[x2]
Forever and always
I will worship, I will praise
[x4]
I will worship, I will praise
[x8]
You are the source of my strength
You are the strength of my life
You are my shepherd and I have no fear
I'm holding on to you
[repeat till end]
