Song Information:
This is a song inspired by some tough times and how we deal (or not!) with life's pressures. It's also about how we can be a vessel of blessing to others going through tough times if we'll just be available & willing to reach out.
Song Lyrics:
V1: Are there times when you just dont know what to do?
Seems like youre caught in some proverbial Catch 22?
Damned if you do, and damned if you dont
No matter which way you turn, seems like youre gonna get burnt
Things arent getting any better, in fact, they might be getting worse
If you didnt know any better, youd think you were under some kinda curse
But youre still, hanging on by the thinnest of threads
These words of hope clearly ring in your head........ (to Chorus)
CH: Hold on, when the going gets tough
Hold on, when lifes battles rage on
Hold on, when you cant see your way
Its even hard to pray
And there seems no end in sight, hold on
V2: What do you lean on when your life hits the fan?
Do you pull up the old boot straps and tough it out the best you can?
Or do you drown your troubles, hope theyll all go away
Deep down inside you know theres got to be a better way
Something real to help you deal with the failures of the past
Not some cosmic panacea whose promises dont last
Dont give up now, youre never alone
Theres someone who cares, urging you to.......(to Chorus)
V3: One mans blessing was another mans seed
Like a cool cup of water given to a runner in the heat
A kind word spoken, or a gentle embrace
Your gift of love could be that smile on your face
Or a listening ear....someone just might need to talk
Get out for awhile, take a walk around the block
One mans blessing, was one mans seed
One man chose to obey, while another received (to CH2)
BR: Paradise lost, then paradise re-gained
Came through a cross and an empty grave
Rest for the weary, burdens released
Hope for the helpless, real purpose and peace
Mankinds blessing was one mans seed
One man obeyed now we can rec-e-i-v-e
His gift of love, his gift of eternal love
His faithful, unchanging love
Forgiving, redeeming love ......HOLD ON!!!
