I try to hold on to this world

With everything I have

But I feel the weight of what it brings

And the hurt that tries to grab

The many trials that seem to never end

His word declares this truth

That we will enter in this rest with wonders anew

But I hold on to this hope

And the promise that he brings

That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain

And no more fears

There will be a day when the burdens of this place

Will be no more, we'll see jesus face to face

But until that day, we'll hold on to you always

I know the journey seems so long

You feel you're walking on your own

But there has never been a step

Where you've walked out all alone

Troubled soul don't lose your heart

Cause joy and peace he brings

And the beauty that's in store

Outweighs the hurt of life's sting

(chorus)

I can't wait until that day

Where the very one I've lived for

Always will wipe away the sorrow

That I've faced

To touch the scars that rescued me

From a life of shame and misery

This is why

This is why I sing
