Chorus:
 A         C  D   A
Well, I'm hangin' on
      C D   A
to a solid rock
 D  E F#m
Made
 D    E F#m
before
         D     E F#m
the foundation
D E F#m
of
    A
the world
       D
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,
                       A
and I can't let go no more.

     C  D       A             C  D      A
For me He was chastised, for me He was hated,
     C     D     A           E
For me he was rejected by a world that He created.
 C D        A       C     D   A
Nations are angry, cursed are  some,
 C      D     A         E
People are expecting a false peace to come.

Chorus

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.
