If we can only hold on - For Steven Curtis Chapman Family

(written when i heard about the death of Maria Chapman - Aug 2008)

If we can only hold on

so much ashes, yet amidst it there's beauty
so much pain, yet in it lies a crown
so much brokenness, yet through it we are stronger
so much hate, yet we can find unending love

though life is hard, thats not the way the story needs to end
though times are tough, if we would only hang in there
there is a way, a hope, a road that leads to life
there is a God, who feels your pain, and lifts you up

If we can only hold on,
Look into his loving eyes
We'll find the strength
We'll find the breath to live

If we can only hold on,
look into his loving eyes
We'll see his for us
Even now...
His working out the plan to see us through
