“We all find ourselves in these spaces where we want to give God our entire hearts and these obstacles are sometimes in the way and it’s hard, it’s heavy, it’s complicated; but we still serve a God who’s big enough and strong enough and able enough to be able to hold these things that we’re struggling holding.
So that’s what this song is. This song is us handing over these things to God and remembering that God is holding on to us. We honor Him. We love Him. We worship Him. We praise God.”
-Jon Reddick

Holding On (Praise God)
Written by: Jon Reddick, Matthew West, Jeff Pardo
I’ve been holding on for dear life
Struggle every day and night
On the losing end of another fight
And I’ve done all I can do
I’ve been holding heavy on my shoulders
Burdens got me weary feeling older
Trusting in myself got me nowhere
So I lift my eyes to You, oh
My help comes from the Lord
And I don’t have to carry this anymore
Let the world bring me to my knees
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me
And I’m finally letting go
Giving it all to the One who’s in control
Gonna fight the battle on my knees
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me
Praise God, praise God, praise God
He’s holding on to me
Praise God, praise God, praise God
He’s holding on to me
I know that my life’s in Your hands
I know that my future’s in Your plans
You’re the God who can when I can’t
So when I’m falling apart, I just fall in Your arms
My help comes from the Lord
And I don’t have to carry this anymore
Let the world bring me to my knees
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me
And I’m finally letting go
Giving it all to the One who’s in control
Gonna fight the battle on my knees
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me
Praise God, praise God, praise God
Oh, He’s holding on to me
Praise God, praise God, praise God
I know where my help comes from
I know who delivers me
I know where my strength is found
I know He knows what I’m needing
I’m believing there’s a victory I will see
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me
I know where my help comes from
I know who delivers me
I know where my strength is found
I know He knows what I’m needing
I’m believing there’s a victory I will see
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me
My help comes from the Lord
And I don’t have to carry this anymore
Let the world bring me to my knees
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me
And I’m finally letting go
Giving it all to the One who’s in control
Gonna fight the battle on my knees
I’m holding on to God
‘Cause I know my God is holding on to me
Praise God, praise God, praise God
He’s holding on to me
Praise God, praise God, praise God
God is holding on to me
