D A D F#m
D A
I have come to this ocean
D E A
and the waves of fear are starting to grow
D A F#m
The doubts and questions are rising with the tide
D E A
so I'm clinging to the one sure thing I know
D A
I will hold on to the hand of my Savior
D F#m
and I will hold on with all my might
D A F#m
I will hold loosely to things that are fleeting
D E A
and hold on to Jesus, I will hold on to Jesus for life
D A D F#m
D A
I've tried to hold many treasures
D E A
They just keep slipping through my fingers like sand
D A F#m
But there's one treasure that means more than breath itself
D E A
So I'm clinging to it with everything I am
D A
I will hold on to the hand of my Savior
D F#m
and I will hold on with all my might
D A F#m
I will hold loosely to things that are fleeting
D E F#m
and hold on to Jesus, I will hold on to Jesus for life
F#m E
Like a child holding on to a promise
F#m E
I will cling to His word and believe
Bm F#m
As I press on to take hold of that
D E
for which Christ Jesus took hold of me
Chorus
D A
I will hold on to the hand of my Savior
D F#m
and I will hold on with all my might
D A F#m
I will hold loosely to things that are fleeting
D E A
and hold on to Jesus, I will hold on to Jesus for life
