HOLD ON

Music helps you process emotions, and I started writing this one three days after my dad died.

The final song resembled nothing of the original poem I wrote, but the process helped me.

It took a week to write.

My original chorus was:

Will my faith survive

In the fire

If my hope is taken

In the trial

When I'm breaking

And feel forsaken

Will my faith die?

Or will it rise up

and awaken.

It was two days after the funeral before I was happy with the Suno renditions. It's a powerful song dealing with the question of where is God and what is He doing. I hope this song helps you as it has me.

170 songs to get to this one. I think that's my record so far.

Lyrics

LYRICS - HOLD ON - MICHAEL KUNZ

I'm hungry and the cupboard's bare

I try to pray, but only stare

At the last meal sitting there To feed my family

I'm despairing

Is God caring?

I cannot bare to think he's abandoned me

When you feel forsaken

And your hope is dying

When your joy is taken

When you've given up fighting

Hold on

God's not left you

Hold on

God has kept you

From a greater battle

you cannot see

He's fighting, He's fighting for Your eternal destiny

I'm sitting in the hospital chair

I look above and say a prayer

The doctor tells me I've got a rare Form of terminal cancer

I'm falling apart

It's shattered my heart

"Why me God?" But there's no answer

When you feel forsaken

And your hope is dying

When your joy is taken

When you've given up fighting

Hold on

God's not left you

Hold on

God has kept you

From a greater battle

you cannot see

He's fighting, He's fighting for Your eternal destiny

I sit in silence

I've had enough

I'm losing my belief

I don't understand

God could have waved his hand

And make the problems disappear

But I can't see the invisible war

Where God takes on the brunt of the storm

And sometimes harm finds its way through

And I get focused on these wounds

And think God's let me down

Then Jesus turns around

and says

When you feel forsaken

And your hope is dying

When your joy is taken

When you've given up fighting

Hold on

God's not left you

Hold on

God has kept you

From a greater battle

you cannot see

He's fighting, He's fighting for Your eternal destiny

Hold on

God's not left you

Hold on

God has kept you

From a greater battle

you cannot see

He's fighting, He's fighting for Your eternal destiny
