I Am Determined to Hold Out

[Verse 1] When I first found Jesus something o'er me stole, Like lightning it went through me, and glory filled my soul; Salvation made me happy and took my fears away, And when I meet old Satan to Him I always say: [Chorus] I am determined to hold out to the end, Jesus is with me, on Him I can depend, And I know I have salvation, for I feel it in my soul, I am determined to hold out to the end. [Verse 2] Satan, He was angry, said he'd soon be back, Just let the path get narrow, and he will lose the track; But I'm so full of glory, my Lord I always find, And I just say to Satan, Old man, get thee behind. [Chorus] I am determined to hold out to the end, Jesus is with me, on Him I can depend, And I know I have salvation, for I feel it in my soul, I am determined to hold out to the end. [Verse 3] This old time religion makes sometimes shout, I don't have time to gossip nor any time to pout; They say that I'm too noisy, but when these blessings flow, I shout, O hallelujah, I want the world to know. [Chorus] I am determined to hold out to the end, Jesus is with me, on Him I can depend, And I know I have salvation, for I feel it in my soul, I am determined to hold out to the end. [Verse 4] When I hear the trumpet sounding in the sky, And see the mountains trembling, to heaven, I will fly; For Jesus will be calling, there'll be no time to mend, With joy I'll go up singing, AI've held out to the end. [Chorus] I am determined to hold out to the end, Jesus is with me, on Him I can depend, And I know I have salvation, for I feel it in my soul, I am determined to hold out to the end.
