Keep the Faith

[Verse 1]

I've seen the lightning flashing, heard the thunder roll, 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

And if I just...

[Verse 2]

I hear the voice of reason

Telling me to fight on

'Cause I know I've come to 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

[Bridge]

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]

If I just 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

(I don't have to fight no more)

If I just keep the faith through the night

(through the night, through the night, through the night)

[Bridge]

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

[Outro]

I only have to keep the faith

(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

(I only have to keep the faith)

I only have to keep the faith

(The faith, the faith)

I only have to keep the faith

(I'm gonna keep the faith)

I only have to keep the faith

(Keep the faith through the night)

I only have to keep the faith

I only have to keep the faith

(Come too far to turn around)

I only have to keep the faith

(Joy is gonna come tomorrow)

I only have to keep the faith

I only have to keep the faith

I only have to keep the faith

(I'm gonna keep it, I've gotta keep it)

I only have to keep the faith

('Cause I've never seen the righteous forsaken)

I only have to keep the faith

I only have to keep the faith

I only have to keep the faith

I only have to keep the faith

I only have to keep the faith

I only have to keep the faith
