Great Tabernacle Hymns ‎#110

110. I'll Just Hold On to Jesus

1 When thorny is my pathway and steep the road,
And often-times I’m sinking beneath my load,
There’s One who watches o’er me, who understands,
Who strengthens and upholds me with mighty hands.

Chorus:
I’ll just hold on to Jesus,
I’ll just hold on to Jesus,
He knows my ev’ry weakness and hears me when I call;
He never will forsake me,
No evil can o’ertake me,
I’ll just hold on to Jesus, then I’ll not fall.

2 He whispers to assure me, “I still am here,”
And ev’ry time I falter I feel Him near;
Though often I have grieved Him, He still is true,
And promises to lead me life’s journey through. [Chorus]

3 He’s won my heart forever, this faithful Friend,
The One upon whom always I can depend;
My hand is in His hand-clasp, so strong and true,
and while He lifts my burdens He lifts me too. [Chorus]
