VERSE 1 :

I've seen the lightning flashing , heard the 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 keep the faith through the night

VERSE 2 :

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

CHORUS :

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

HOOK :

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

CHORUS : (2 TIMES)

If I just hold my peace ,
Let the lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith through the night

HOOK :

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
