Steven Curtis Chapman
Hold on to Jesus
[INT] -> D A/C# D F#m
D A
I have come to this ocean
D E
And the waves of fear are starting to grow
D A F#m
The doubts and questions are rising with the tide
D E A
So I'm clinging to the one sure thing I know
D A
I will hold on to the hand of my Savior
D F#m
And I will hold on with all my might
D A/C# F#m
I will hold loosely to things that are fleeting
D
And hold on to Jesus
E
I will hold on to Jesus for life
(Intro)
D A
I've tried to hold many treasures
D E A
They just keep slipping through my fingers like sand
D A F#m
But there's one treasure that means more than breath itself
D E A
So I'm clinging to it with everything I am
(Repeat Chorus)
F#m E
Like a child holding on to a promise
F#m E
I will cling to His word and believe
Bm F#m
As I press on to take hold of that
D E
for which Christ Jesus took hold of me
(Repeat Chorus)
