Lyrics:

I've seen the lightning flashing, heard the thunder roll, roll
I feel the cold winds blowing
Trying to conquer my soul

If I just hold my peace
Let the Lord fight my battles
If I keep the faith through the night
And if I just...

I hear the voice of reason
Telling me to fight on
'Cause I know I've come to far to turn around
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy is gonna come tomorrow
Though I go through the fire
I shall come out as pure gold

When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
Just stand your ground

If I just hold my peace
Let the Lord fight my battles
If I just keep the faith through the night
If I just hold my peace
Let the Lord fight my battles
(I don't have to fight no more)
If I just keep the faith through the night
(through the night, through the night, through the night)

When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
Just stand your ground

I only have to keep the faith
(I only have to keep the faith)
I only have to keep the faith
(I don't have to fight no more, no no no)
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
(I only have to keep the faith)
I only have to keep the faith
(The faith, the faith)
I only have to keep the faith
(I'm gonna keep the faith)
I only have to keep the faith
(Keep the faith through the night)
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
(Come too far to turn around)
I only have to keep the faith
(Joy is gonna come tomorrow)
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
(I'm gonna keep it, I've gotta keep it)
I only have to keep the faith
('Cause I've never seen the righteous forsaken)
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
I only have to keep the faith
