"Hold On To Jesus"
Steven Curtis Chapman
Transcription by Lane Denson (laner@bigfoot.com)

INTRO
D A/C# D F#m

D                   A
I have come to this ocean
        D                 E
And the waves of fear are starting to grow
D                            A               F#m
The doubts and questions are rising with the tide
       D               E                A
So I'm clinging to the one sure thing I know 

            D                    A
I will hold on to the hand of my Savior
                D              F#m
And I will hold on with all my might
            D                         A/C# F#m
I will hold loosely to things that are fleeting
    D
And hold on to Jesus
       E                       
I will hold on to Jesus for life 

(Intro)

D                       A
I've tried to hold many treasures
               D                   E            A
They just keep slipping through my fingers like sand
D                                   A                F#m
But there's one treasure that means more than breath itself
       D                   E            A 
So I'm clinging to it with everything I am 

(Repeat Chorus)

F#m                  E
Like a child holding on to a promise
F#m                 E
I will cling to His word and believe
Bm               F#m
As I press on to take hold of that
          D                         E
for which Christ Jesus took hold of me 

(Repeat Chorus)
