Why do I keep holdin’ on, holdin’ on to Jesus?
All around these things are slippin’ on and on away.
Both day and night are dark and gloomy, filled with drear.
Jesus’ Name, still makes me want to worship and to pray
‘Til he draws me close and draws me up so very near.
Cause He keeps holdin’ on, keeps holdin’ on to me!
And he’ll keep keepin’ on, keep keepin’ on with you!
Why do I keep walking on, keep walking on with Jesus?
Jesus seems to go too fast, and other times too slow
I want to run ahead, but then I got catch my breath with Christ
Where exactly do we plan to let the path to go?
But I’ll let Him pay my aweful, final price,
Cause He kept walking on, kept walking on for me!
And he’ll keep keepin’ on, keep keepin’ on with you!
Why do I keep lookin’ on, lookin’ on to Jesus?
I look beyond horizons when skies are lookin’ dim.
I gaze beyond the moonset, when mournin’ ain’t to fun,
But He looked beyond my frets, past the dark within.
He suffered on that cross, though there was no Sun,
Cause He’ll keep looking out, keep lookin’ out for me!
And He’ll keep keepin’ on, keep keeping on with you!
Why do I keep standing up, keep standin’ up for Jesus?
I face the roughest storms in the coldest, hardest days.
I’ve climbed the high old hills against the hottest harshest wind.
But he climbed a deadly hill against the hateful storm.
He stood again the third day, so I will stand with Him,
Cause He’ll keep standin’ up, standing up for me!
And He’ll keep keepin’ on, keep keepin’ on with you!
Yeah He’ll keep holdin’ on, holdin’ on to you.
Yeah He’ll keep walkin’ on, walkin’ on with me.
Yeah He’ll keep lookin’ out, lookin’ out for you.
Yeah He’ll keep standin’ up, standin’ up for me . . .
