(28/04/2015)


INTRO:

[D#] [Gm] [D7] [Gm]



CHORUS:

Hold [D7] on  Hold [Gm]ooo-ooon

Keep my hand on the plow, hold on .
Hold [D7] on  Hold [Gm]ooo-ooon

Keep my hand on the plow, hold on.


REFRAIN:

[D#] [Gm] [D#] [D7] [Gm]


I won't walk left won't walk right

stand my watch right through the night

            keep my [D#] hand on the plow hold [Gm]on.

Face the front, don't look back

I will follow the furrow's track

            keep my hand on the plow hold on.

and i won't cease to pray

until he catches me away

            keep my hand on the plow hold on.


            (Chorus and refrain)


I count all I have as loss

clinging firmly to the cross

            keep my hand on the plow hold on.

Nothing else I know can save

my wretched self from the hungry grave

            keep my hand on the plow hold on.

let the dead bury the dead

proclaim my kingdom Jesus said

            keep my hand on the plow hold on.


            (Chorus and refrain)


Lord hold me safe in your hand

In your Gospel I will stand

            keep my hand on the plow hold on.

In your truth I'll endure

You word is manna and more sure

            keep my hand on the plow hold on.

My hands are weak and yours are strong

Lord please keep me holding on

            keep my hand on the plow hold on.


(Chorus - repeat last line three times)


end (slow):

Gm

I will endure keep it straight

on the narrow road to the narrow gate

Holding [D#] on oh holding [D7] on hooo- ooolding [Gm]oooon
