Lyrics
Chorus:
If I can hold out, If I can keep the faith,
In God's own time, my change will come, it will come.
Chorus2:
If I can do my best, If I can pass the test,
In God's own time, my change will come.
Solo:
1.These old heavy burdens cannot last, no, no,
These old troubles and trials soon will be past, (I know they will - Till then, if I can just)
Chorus
Solo: (Spoken - One more thing )
2.Sometimes burdens and afflictions press my soul, oh yes, they do,
But that only makes me more determined to reach my goal,
Can I get a witness! Hey! If I can
Chorus
Bridge (2x):
Hold out, just a little while longer, These heavy burdens, they will soon pass over
Run the race, keep the faith, My change will come, my change will come.
Solo (w/Choir Ooohs):
If I can just hold out, If I can keep the faith, I don't have to be jealous of nobody,
My change will come. (Can I get a witness here!) (Oh, yes it will, listen here)
If I can stand my test, My God will do the rest,
And I don't have to worry about nobody,
My change will come. (Can I get a witness here!) And all I got to do is -
Bridge - Chorus
