There's a path along life's highway
So common and well trod
By the shoes of burdened Christians
Who won't put their trust in God
They've been born of the Spirit,
But they live by what they see
So they trust in their own effort,
Never living in belief
Chorus:
I'm not holding on to Jesus, he's holding on to me
He died and rose again to set me free
I am resting in the Spirit, not afraid of what will be
I'm not holding on to Jesus, He's holding on to me
If you're living in the dungeon
In the heavy chains of fear
Don't live another minute
In the lies you're holding dear
The chains have all been shattered,
The light is streaming in
You can't close your eyes forever
To the One who lives within
Chorus:
I'm not holding on to Jesus, he's holding on to me
He died and rose again to set me free
I am resting in the Spirit, not afraid of what will be
I'm not holding on to Jesus, He's holding on to me
