When you're down and in despair  
Don't be uneasy because he'll be there  
Say don't you worry, no don't you fret  
The Lord has never, never failed you yet  
 
[Chorus:] 
So hold on, help is on the way  
Hold on, God is on his way  
Hey hold on he's on his way  
He told me to hold on  
He's on his way  
Hold on he's coming soon  
Pray, he'll be there  
Cmon now, yeah  
 
Now when it seems that you can't stand  
Just hold on to God's unchanging hand  
Yeah, weeping may, yes, endure for just one night,  
But joy will come in the morning light  
 
[Chorus:] 
Hold on he's on his way  
Come on hold on  
See I've tried it and I know  
Help is on the way  
Hold on, hold on  
I'm begging cause I know  
He's on his way  
 
He may not come when you want him  
But he's right on time  
But he'll be right there (on time)  
 
Help is on the way  
Help is on the way  
Help is on the way yeah  
The word told me  
If I ask he's on his way  
I'm thankful cause I know he is  
 
Come on just say, help  
Come on just try, help  
Ask him for a little bit, help  
He'll give it to you right away, help  
Help, Believe he's on his way now, help  
Help, Know the help I know, help  
I've called him before, help  
He said his help on his way, help  
Help is on the way  
So glad to know hey...  
Woo
