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

So hold on (hold on)
Help is on the way (help is on the way)
Hold on (hold on)
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 coming soon (help is on the way)
Pray, he'll be there (hold on)
C'mon, now, yeah (help is on the way)

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

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 begging 'cause I know (hold on)
He's on his way (help is on the way)

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 on time)
He'll be right there, oh, 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)
Help is on the way (and I know it's a)
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 thank him 'cause I know he is)
Help is on the way

Come on, just say (help)
Come on, just cry (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)
Know the help I know (help)
See, I've called him before, He said (help)
His help on the way (help is on the way)
So glad to know, hey, woo
