Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
So hold on (Hold on)
Help is on the way (Help is on the way)
Hold on oh, no (Oh, no)
God is on His way (Help is on the way)
Hey, hold on (Hold on)
He's on His way (Help is on the way)
He told me to hold on (Hold on)
He's on His way (Help is on the way)
Hold on (Hold on)
He's comin' soon (Help is on the way)
Pray, He'll be there (Hold on)
Come on, now (Help is on the way)
[Verse 3]
Now, when it seems that you can't stand
Just hold on to Gods unchanging hand
Yeah, weeping may, yes, endure for just one night
But, joy will come in the morning light
[Verse 4]
Hold on (Hold on)
He's on His way (Help is on the way)
Come on, hold on (Hold on)
See, I've tried it, and I know (Help is on the way)
Help is on the way (Hold on)
Hold on (Help is on the way)
I'm beggin', cause I know (Hold on)
He's on His way (Help is on the way)
[Verse 5]
He may not come (He may not come)
When you want Him (When you want Him)
But, He's right on time (But, He'll be right there)
Ooh, He'll be right there, oh (On time)
[Verse 6]
Hey, hey, hey, hey (Help is on the way)
Help is on the way (Help is on the way)
Help is on the way (Help is on the way)
Help is on the way, y'all (Help is on the way)
God, and then I know it's sayin' (Help is on the way)
The word told me (Help is on the way)
If I ask, He's on His way (Help is on the way)
I thankful, 'cause I know He is (Help is on the way)
[Verse 7]
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)
Believe, He's on His way, now (Help)
Lord will help, I know (Help)
See, I've called Him before, He said (Help)
His help is on the way (Help is on the way)
[Verse 8]
So glad to know, hey
Woo
