We’ve Got to Hang On

                  When time is short        
                  But it drags on real long
                  It’s time to hang on.

                  When the mind is scattered
                  Like the leaves in the breeze
                  It’s time to hang on.

                      When all that we think
                      And all that we say
                      Is jumbled in the chaos
                      Of each and every day
                      It’s time to hang on.

                                 When everything we think
                                 And everything we say
                                 Is called into question
                                 In each and every way
                                 It’s time to hang on.

                      When you feel like crying
                      But they’re all dried up
                      And you want to run
                      And just give it all up
                      You’ve got to hang on.

                                 For it’s not in the running
                                 Of this earthly race
                                 That we learn to stand
                                 And seek His face
                                 It’s when we’ve got to hang on.
