[Chorus]

Well, I’m hanging on to a solid rock

Made before the foundation of the world

And I won’t let go and I can’t let go

Won’t let go and I can’t let go

Won’t let go and I can’t let go no more


[Verse 1]

For me He was chastised, for me He was hated

For me He was rejected by a world that He created

Nations are angry, cursed are some

People are expecting a false peace to come


[Chorus]

Well, I’m hanging on to a solid rock

Made before the foundation of the world

And I won’t let go and I can’t let go

Won’t let go and I can’t let go

Won’t let go and I can’t let go no more


[Verse 2]

It’s the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit

Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it

Using all the devices under the sun

And He never give up ’til the battle’s lost or won


[Chorus]

Well, I’m hanging on to a solid rock

Made before the foundation of the world

And I won’t let go and I can’t let go

Won’t let go and I can’t let go

Won’t let go and I can’t let go no more
