(Joyce) They say I wouldn't make it. They say I wouldn't be here today
They say I wouldn't amount to anything. Although I've been tossed around and I've been criticized, I'm stilllllllll holding on to God's unchanging hands mmmmmmmmm
There was many, who started out with me, but you know they're gone away
But When I was young I gave God my hand and I'm not going anywhere
I'm still holding on.
And I I I'm am going to that promised land cause I'm still holding on ummmmmmm
Lord have mercy
You know they said that I would not make it. You know they said that I would not amount to anything Oh yes they did. They even said that I would not last another day Although the roads get rough and sometimes my friend the going gets very very tough but I'm stillllll
I keep holding I keep holding onnnnnnn God's unchanging hand mmmmmmm.
There was many many many many hey hey hey hey, they started right out with me. and I want the world to know owowow that there's many has gone astray. But you see when I was just a little bity baby thing, I reached out and I gave God my hand.
You see I'm not going anywhere I'm here to stay on this solid rock I stand
When it's all over, I don't have to weep and cry no more
I'm going to that wonderful, that beautiful, beautiful beautiful place that's called the promised land.
Some say the streets are paved with gold and they say the walls are like jasper
I'm going I'm going home. I want you to meet me there, can you meet me there, I need you to meet me there cause I'm still I'm holding onononnnnnnn ohhhhh ooooohhhhhh ohoh
