Holding on to Jesus - Joshua Williams

And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I I'll hold on, and hold on... I keep listening to my chest For a beat, but there's nothing left It's been a week since I've seen you And I still can't believe it 'Cause I'm dying inside alone And every day we gotta be apart I'm like a baby with a broken heart But the second that I see you You will know how much I need you 'Cause I never be lettin' you go (Well, you know I) I'm lost without you And there's nothing I can do You're the one I can't go without But by holding onto you Then I'll be holding on forever I've got you now but Not letting go of you Never be together long enough 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I I'll hold on, and hold on And if I can write a symphony Baby you would be my melody And you would flow like a river Slowly going on forever Like a feather that's blowin' away Like every woman needs a fairy tale Like every mother's love that never fails Like every game that needs a player Every sinner needs a savior I've a feeling you're with the saints (Well, you know I) I'm lost without you And there's nothing I can do You're the one I can't go without But by holding onto you Then I'll be holding on forever I've got you now but Not letting go of you Never be together long enough 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven And I'm willing to wait Just to see you another day What I'm waiting for Wash this pain away And it's never too late (Too late) And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I I'll hold on, and hold on (Well, you know I) I'm lost without you And there's nothing I can do You're the one I can't go without But by holding onto you Then I'll be holding on forever I got you now but Not letting go of you Never be together long enough 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven

All your letters in the fire One by one they go Disappearing in to flames They make an eerie glow... Holding On To Smoke You're just smoke in the air, In the Air Holding On To Smoke You can never be held Yet you're everywhere- Fire can't console me with The lessons I have learned Fire can't consume your laugh And memory can't be burned Holding On To Smoke You're just smoke in the air, In the Air Holding On To Smoke You can never be held Yet you're everywhere Like a fog across the land Like the nighttime's sound Here you are, embracing me And yet you can be found Holding On To Smoke You're just smoke in the air, In the Air Holding On To Smoke You can never be held Yet you're everywhere Holding On To Smoke You're just smoke in the air, In the Air Holding On To Smoke You can never be held Yet you're everywhere

I've seen the south of France I've seen the sunset dance Over Sunset Avenue I've seen the Rolling Stones Got real high on Rock n Roll Seen a lot of dreams come true But ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Baby you're above the years I've been moved to tears By the wonders of this old world One of God's mysteries Didn't ever fail to get to me Is the moment when I'm holdin onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you I've seen a newborn child Puts stars in her mamas eyes And i pray to the man in the moon I got drunk with the highway men Felt the burn of the desert wind Seen some promise and I do's Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Baby you're above the years I've been moved to tears By the wonders of this old world One of God's mysteries It never fails to get to me Is the moment when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Baby we just rolled in It's cold here in Michigan Got a sold-out show tonight Pretty soon we'll hit the stage I'll feel the lights hit my face We'll see some magic in the room Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you No no no no Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you

You said I'm holdin' onto heartache You said I wear it like a crown It's gonna drag me down I'm holdin' onto heartache You should be starin' at the sky The birds just passin' by, love The wind held us up, but We knew that all would change Creates the strangest feelin' Just slowly waitin' for the end I still have dreams about it The moments as they came The moments never shown to us Because we faded into darkness I can still hear a silence I can still hear a clock that's tickin' You said I'm holdin' onto heartache You said I wear it like a crown It's gonna drag me down I'm holdin' onto heartache You should be starin' at the sky The birds just passin' by, love Holdin' on to heartache The nights, they change in seasons Become the strangest days I called you twice, but then regretted it And changed my number The questions that I'd ask you Where did it all go wrong? There's endless versions of the thing That keeps me driftin' back to darkness I can still hear your silence I can still hear a clock that's tickin' You said I'm holdin' onto heartache You said I wear it like a crown It's gonna drag me down I'm holdin' onto heartache You should be starin' at the sky The birds just passin' by, love You know the party's over When you're standin' in an empty space alone And time can always heal you If you let it make its way into your bones Nothing's ever easy To be honest, I'm not easy on myself The second that I see you The space between us just comes floodin' back You said I'm holdin' onto heartache You said I wear it like a crown It's gonna drag me down I'm holdin' onto heartache You should be starin' at the sky The birds just passin' by, love

It's so hard to imagine your lips On the skin of somebody else, baby It's so hard to imagine your souls Intertwined, in the bond that we once had It's so hard, I suppose But that's how it goes, that's how it goes When the poetry turns to prose That's how it goes It's so hard, to be sad Cause I don't wanna be the one you had I don't wanna be the one you had And I know, I've been bad But I don't wanna be the one you had I just wanna be the one you have The one you have It's so hard to imagine your lust And your sweat on somebody else, baby It's so hard to imagine you look Look at him like you had your eyes on me It's so hard, I should know But that's how it goes, that's how life goes I'll be smarter in time Will you then be mine? It's so hard, to be sad Cause I don't wanna be the one you had I don't wanna be the one you had And I know, I've been bad But I don't wanna be the one you had I just wanna be the one you have The one you have I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love Still holding on to love I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love Yeah I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love Still holding on to love I'm holding on to love It's so hard, to be sad Cause I don't wanna be the one you had I don't wanna be the one you had And I know, I've been bad But I don't wanna be the one you had I just wanna be the one you have The one you have

When I was young If I just closed my eyes Then I could go anywhere Dream of any place Imagination set the pace And my heart was happy there What a shame that you came Round and told me Said my dreams can't come true "Don't be foolish Give up your wish Big things aren't for you" And how you'd scold and chide me Forever criticize me But now I think I know the truth You were the one Who held me down and told me I was heading nowhere You said know your place Accept your fate and show good face And be thankful that you're there That was so long ago When you owned me I believed it was true Bend me shape me Build me break me Why was I your fool? And now I'm so much stronger I'm not yours any longer I've got a message here for you Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near Hey wait turn and show your face I've got a lot to say And you're not going anywhere You lose; the time you ruled me's through I'm in control I own my soul And I'll never go back there Wasted years that I spent Never knowing I was kept, I was used Never-ending Condescending Now I just refuse I don't care what it costs me I know I almost lost me Won't spend another day confused You rose I fell Made my life hell Anything to crush my soul Anything to feel control Finally free I've come so far Finally see how sick you are I spent my life degraded But I won't leave here jaded I'll start again and finally prove Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near

I met a man He had a dream I tried to understand But nothing was what it seemed Sometimes, that's how gods roll We'd sit for hours He'd share his plans To build a universe And make every part by hand A big scheme with an infinite goal So I would watch and listen and try to learn As pieces and bits became whole But there is more going on than the work at hand What I learned had to do with the strength of the soul There's a light that shines And it's power is mine! Though our body's weak and breakable The spirit is indomitable! So, step by step And frame by frame A world's created Its map fashioned from a stain Just dream big then work 'til it grows I learned this lesson We can evolve Achieving anything As long as our heart's resolved Believing will make it so Though our lives are limited by years on Earth Our dreams won't be bound inside The goal's not to live forever 'Cause eternity loves the creations of time There's a light that shines And it's power is mine! Though our body's weak and breakable The spirit is indomitable! Don't be afraid! Get up, get going A step everyday I'll meet you there When we strive, we transcend Even death cannot end our climb! I wasn't ready You can't prepare For the unthinkable For something that's so unfair It's cruel but that's how life goes But through the sadness Thousands of tears We see his message Sparkling and crystal clear Our work is larger than we know! There's a light that shines And it's power is mine! Though our body's weak and breakable The spirit is indomitable!
