I found a wind
A will to keep to going
When the road gets hard
Everything's dark
And the storm winds are blowing
I encourage myself (I'll hold on)
I (And I,...won't let go)
Won't let (No, won't let go)
I... found a grace (Oooooo)
A grace so amazing
And every morning I see, it's following me
Even when my world is crazy
I encourage myself (I'll hold on)
And I (And I,...won't let go)
Oh (No. Won't let go, ohh)
Holding on, is never easy
It takes a strength and a courage
That comes... from above
But the Lord... gives us
Power to make it (Power to make it)
By His might (By His might)
We can fight (We can fight)
If we stand (If we stand)
If we stand (If we stand)
In His loooooove
I... found... a... will (Ooooooo)
In the middle of the will
It keeps on turning (Keeps on turnin)
Keeps on turning (Keeps on turnin)
Turning me still
I encourage myself (I'll hold on)
I said I encourage myself (I'll hold on) I encourage myself
To hold on (I'll hold on) to hold on
Come what may (I'll hold on) Yeah
Through the storm (I'll hold on) through the storm)
Through the rain (I'll hold on) through the rain
Flood waters all around me (I'll hold on) all around me
I'm reaching for Your hand (I'll hold on)
Only you God (And I)
Won't let go (won't let go)
I Won't let go
I Won't let gooooo
I won't let... go
I'll keep holding
(I'll keep holding on) Hold on
(I'll keep holding on) Hold on
(Won't let go) I won't let go
(Won't let go, oh) I...
(I'll keep holding on) Keep holding on
(I'll keep holding on) I'll encourage myself
(Won't let go) I won't let go
(Won't let go. Oh) I'll keep holding on
(I'll keep holding on) holding on
(I'll keep holding on) won't let go
(Won't let go) I won't let go
(Won't let go)
I'll keep holding on (I'll keep holding on)
To you're unchanging hand (I'll keep holding on)
Cuz it always reaches me (Won't let go)
Reaches me... wherever I am (Won't let go)
I made up my mind
To hold on
And I won't let go (Ooooo, oooooo)

Another verse that resonates with the message of the song is Romans 8:38-39, which says, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." This verse assures us that nothing can separate us from the love and faithfulness of God. No matter what we go through, He will always be there for us.
