Lyrics of Oh Jesus, I’m holding on to You – Ella Scott
Lord, I walk these steps alone today,
No arms waiting, but I’m not afraid.
This old church still knows my name,
In my heart, I feel Your flame.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve wandered far but still I know,
You’re the place I call my home.
(Chorus )
Don’t let me drift, don’t fade away,
Don’t leave me now — not today.
When I fall, when I break,
Be my shelter, keep me safe.
I’m not perfect, but I’m true —
Oh Jesus, I’m holding on to You.
(Verse 2)
Why’d we drift apart, I don’t know why,
I bury dreams, but I still try.
The wind may blow, the trees may sway,
But Your love won’t fade away.
(Pre-Chorus)
I swear on all I hold dear,
Don’t forget me — stay near.
(Chorus)
Don’t let me drift, don’t fade away,
Don’t leave me now — not today.
When I fall, when I break,
Be my shelter, keep me safe.
I’m not perfect, but I’m true —
Oh Jesus, I’m holding on to You.
(Bridge)
I’ve made mistakes, I’ve felt the pain,
But You heal me in the rain.
You’re the light when all seems dark,
You’re the fire inside my heart.
(Outro)
So I’ll trust You all my days,
Guide me through Your endless grace.
Jesus, I’m holding on to You,
In all I say, in all I do.
