Heart the thunder roll, roll
I feel the cold winds blowing
Trying to conquer my soul

If I just hold my peace
Let the Lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith
Through the night, and if I just

I hear the voice of reason
Telling me to fight on
Cause I've come too far to turn back now
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy is gonna come tomorrow
Though I go through the fire
I shall come out as pure gold

When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
Just stand your ground (hold)

Hold my peace
Let the Lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith
Through the night

If I just hold my peace
Let the Lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith
Through the night

When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
Just stand your ground

I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith, the faith
(If I just hold my peace
Let the Lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith
Through the night)
