Hold On
Lee Williams & The Spiritual QC's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to grey.
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said.
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what lies ahead.
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.
Every step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb
Every burden's getting lighter,
Every cloud is silver-lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eye
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky.
I don't know about tomorrow
It may bring me poverty.
But the one who feeds the sparrow,
Is the one who stands by me.
And the pathway that be my portion
May be through the flame or flood
But His presence goes before me
And I'm covered with His blood.
Lee Williams And The Spiritual QC's song "Hold On" is a gospel song that instills the message of trusting in God's plans for tomorrow and living in the present. The first verse of this song explains that the singer doesn't worry about the future or borrow from tomorrow's sunshine because tomorrow's might turn out to be grey. However, the singer trusts in what Jesus has said and chooses to walk beside Him, not worrying about what lies ahead. The chorus affirms that the singer might not comprehend everything about tomorrow, but they know that God holds tomorrow and their hand.
In the second verse of "Hold On," the singer's journey to a better future becomes clear as every step they make becomes brighter, and every burden becomes lighter. The song emphasizes that no clouds can dull their vision, and there won't be any tears in their eyes when they reach the end of the rainbow where the mountains touch the sky. As they focus on the good things ahead, the future doesn't seem as daunting as it once did. The final verse states that the future might hold poverty or difficult struggles, but the singer knows that God stands by them and has already paved the way.
