I aint no perfect angel And I aint no swingin' saint Got my fair share of troubles Need a brand new coat of paint Thought I'd learn from my mistakes Just like the Lord above But when I need my friends the most I turn my back on those I love But I'm holding on for Jesus He's gonna keep me whole Yeah I'm holding on for Jesus He's gonna save my soul When life has got you down And you're livin' in the gutter Then welcome to my world, baby It ain't all bread and butter Mean streets is all you got And all you gotta do is cheat 'cos when life knocks you down, brother You don't always land on your feet But I'm holding on for Jesus He's gonna keep me whole Yeah I'm holding on for Jesus He's gonna save my soul Well I lost myself to whiskey And I sold myself to crack Knew I'd hit rock-bottom, baby Thought there was no way back But I opened up my heart to Him Turned over a brand new leaf I dedicate my life to Him- My heart, my soul, my grief Yeah I'm holding on for Jesus He's gonna keep me whole Yeah I'm holding on for Jesus He's gonna save my soul Holding on for Jesus Holding on for Him Holding on for Jesus Holding on for Him...
