I've found love
I've found peace in my life
I've found joy
That no one can describe

When I lay down to sleep
There's a voice inside keeps telling me
Something that I ought to do

You've got to hold on to Jesus
When your heart is crying, your world is dying
You've got to hold on to Jesus
When your life has had enough

I've had pain
And like everyone else
I've been tempted
To live only for myself

When I lay down to sleep
There's a voice inside keeps telling me
Something that I ought to do

You've got to hold on to Jesus
When your heart is crying, your world is dying
You've got to hold on to Jesus
When your life has had enough

And as time goes by, the tick of the clock is not enough for me
And as time goes by, I'll give Jesus my allegiance

When I lay down to sleep
There's a voice inside keeps telling me
Something that I ought to do

You've got to hold on to Jesus
When your heart is crying, your world is dying
You've got to hold on to Jesus
When your life has had enough

You and me and we've got to hold on
You and me and we've got to hold on
You and me and we've got to hold on
Hold on to Jesus
