My Faith Still Holds

[Verse 1]
I tried to find life's mysteries,
just by the reason of my mind to see,
but void remained 'tween me and where I longed to be,
'til childlike faith there built a bridge for me.

[Verse 2]
I thought I had (I thought I had) to see and feel (to see and feel)
to prove that what (what) I loved was really real,
but passion turned to ashes, things I held to dust,
I found reality in simple trust.

[Refrain 1]
My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary,
Oh blessed Rock of Ages cleft, for(,) me.(ages cleft for me.)
I gladly place my trust in things I cannot see,
my faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary.

[Verse 3]
And oh what joy to walk this way!
I follow nail-pierced footprints all the way,
and through the end of where I'm bound I may not see,
I choose to place my trust in Calvary.

[Verse 4]
Now years have passed since in my youth,
I weathered storms of doubt in search of truth.
Sweet Jesus calmed the tempest of my soul's unrest,
Praise God! The Calv'ry Road has stood the test.

[Refrain 2]
My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary,
Oh blessed Rock of Ages cleft for me.
I gladly place my trust in things I cannot see,
my faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary!

[Coda]
My faith still holds!
