I've seen the lightning flashing

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)
