Hold On
Embracing Faith Amidst Doubt: "Hold On" by Shawn McDonald
Lyrics
Another day gone by
Reflecting on the passing of another day
And again I ask myself why
Expressing introspective questioning
I question my sanity
Doubting one's mental stability
Why I believe what I believe
Questioning personal beliefs
Some might think that I am crazy
Aware of potential judgment for believing in unseen things
For believing in something I cannot see
Acknowledging faith in the unseen
So won't You now
Requesting divine intervention
Hold on to me, hold on
Pleading to be held onto
Hold on to me, yeah
Repetition of the plea to hold on
Please don't let me go no, no, hold on
Emphasizing the importance of not letting go
'Cause I am prone to wonder
Acknowledging a tendency to wander
Prone to leave this faith I know
Admitting the inclination to abandon the known faith
Hold on
Reiterating the plea to hold on
And now they say that the wise man
Referring to the concept of a wise man
Well, he fears the Lord
Associating wisdom with fearing the Lord
And this fear, well, it's the beginning of all wisdom
Stating the beginning of wisdom as fearing God
And I must be a fool
Expressing a sense of being foolish
'Cause I sure don't seem to fear You
Admitting a lack of fear for the divine
'Cause the very things that You will me to do
Not following through on God's will
Well, I just don't seem to get around to
Struggling to fulfill divine commands
The very things that You hate
Highlighting engagement in disliked actions
Are the very things that I always stumble into
Repeating mistakes despite knowing better
Hold on
Repeating the plea to hold on
Hold on
-Hold on
-Hold on
-'Cause I am prone to leave this faith I know
Reiterating the inclination to leave faith
Prone to leave this God I love
Expressing the inclination to abandon the God one loves
Won't You hold on
Requesting divine intervention to hold on
Won't You hold on to me
Repetition of the plea to be held onto
