They said I wouldn't make it,
They said I wouldn't be here today.
They said I'd never amount to anything.
But I'm glad to say, that I'm on my way,
And I'm growing more and more each day.
For there were many that started out with me,
But now, they've gone astray.
But I'm still holding on.
I'm still holding on.
I'm still holding on to his hand.
You see when I was young, I gave God my hand,
And I told him to lead the way.
Though the road has been rough
And the goings been mighty tough, still
I ain't going no where, I'm right here to stay.
Though I've been talked about and Lord I've been criticized.
I had to wipe many tears from my eyes.
But I'm still holding on.
I'm still holding on.
I'm still holding on to his hand.
and I'm still- holding on.
Yes I'm still in God's holy plan.
I'm still(chorus) holding on.
And I'm bound for the promise land.
I'll never(I will never let go of his hand) I'll never let go of his hand.
I will never let go of his hand
