When you're down and in despair  Don't be uneasy cause He'll be there  So don't you worry, don't you fret  The Lord has never failed you yet  Chorus:  So hold on, help is on the way  Hold on, God is on his way  Hold on, He's on his way  He told me to hold on  He's on his way  Hold on, He's coming soon  Pray, He'll be there  Now when it seems that you can't stand  Just hold on to God's unchanging hand  Yeah weeping may last to the ***??*** of night  But joy will come in the morning light  chorus  He may not come when you want him  But he's right on time  He'll be right there  Help is on the way (X3)  The Word told me  If I ask He's on his way  I'm thankful cause I know He is  Come just say   (Help)  Come on just try   (Help)  Ask him for a little bit   (Help)  He'll give it to you right away (Help)  Know the help I know   (Help)  I've called him before  So glad...  words and music by: Reverend Kenneth Paden
