Verse 1

When the night is long and heavy

When my tears are slow to cease

When my heart is tired of hoping

And my hands have lost their strength

There is One who stays beside me

There is One who will not move

When the ground feels weak beneath me

Christ will hold me through and through

Chorus

Hold on, my soul

Hold on, my soul

Jesus will not let you go

Hold on, my soul

Hold on, my soul

Hold on, my soul

He who called you will be faithful

Hold on, my soul

Verse 2

When the answer has not found me

When my prayers feel unanswered still

When tomorrow feels uncertain

And the waiting harder still

I will not measure love by silence

I will not measure truth by sight

There is mercy in the hidden

There is morning after night

Chorus

Hold on, my soul

Hold on, my soul

Jesus will not let you go

Hold on, my soul

Hold on, my soul

Hold on, my soul

He who called you will be faithful

Hold on, my soul

Bridge

He is near in every sorrow

He is strong when I am weak

He is still my hope for tomorrow

He is all I truly need

He will keep me through the darkness

He will carry me in love

Till the day of joy is breaking

Till I see the light of God

Bridge

He is near in every sorrow

He is strong when I am weak

He is still my hope for tomorrow

He is all I truly need

He will keep me through the darkness

He will carry me in love

Till the day of joy is breaking

Till I see the light of God

Final Chorus

Hold on, my soul

Hold on, my soul

Jesus will not let you go

Hold on, my soul

Hold on, my soul

Hold on, my soul

He who called you will be faithful

Hold on, my soul

The heart behind the song

A song for
hope.

Hold On, My Soul exists to give listeners and gathered worshippers a clear way into hope. A personal encouragement song that helps the worshipper speak truth to their own soul.

Explore the meaning

At its heart, the song treats hope as something to be received before it is performed. The focus is not on musical display, but on helping attention turn towards Jesus with language that feels plain, prayerful and singable.

The title gives the song its centre of gravity. Around that centre, the words and movement of the song hold perseverance and reassurance, making room for personal devotion and shared congregational response.

For listening and worship

For everyday listening, the song offers worship language for moments when hope needs to be remembered and sung, not merely understood.

For churches and worship leaders, it is shaped as a psalm-like response: clear in focus, connected to the wider EP, and intended to serve gathered voices as well as personal prayer.
