I've seen the lightning flashing
Heard the thunder roll
I feel the cold winds blowing
Trying to conquer my soul

[Chorus]

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

I hear the voice of reason
Telling me to fight on
Cuz I come to know I've come too far to turn around

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
If you just stand your ground

[Chorus]

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

I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
I don't have to fight no more no no no

I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith

[Chorus till fade...]
