VERSE 1 :
I've seen the lightning flashing , heard the roll
I feel the cold winds blowing
Trying to conquer my soul
CHORUS :
If I just hold my peace
Let the lord fight my battles
If I keep the faith through the night
VERSE 2 :
I hear the voice of reason
Telling me to fight on
'Cause I know I've come to far to turn around
CHORUS :
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy is gonna come tomorrow
Though I go through the fire
I shall come out as pure gold
HOOK :
When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
Just stand your ground
CHORUS : (2 TIMES)
If I just hold my peace
Let the lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith through the night
HOOK :
When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
Just stand your ground
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
The faith
