Hawkins, Walter - Hold On Old Soldier Lyrics






Don't worry tired soldier
You have the Lord's shoulder
To lean upon when you feel weak
And you'll never grow weary
Give your strength to Him

You may be feeling a little discouraged
Or just looking for some kind of sign
To reassure you that He's not forgotten
But remember your past whenever you ask
He was right there...

Right there to carry you through
Right there opening doors for you
Faithful in every way
So hold on old soldier
Hold on old soldier
Hold on old soldier
...

When you get up off of your knees
And the world you must face
Remember the angels of God
Surrounds you by His grace
Your heart may be aching
But He's sitting there waiting
You're wondering what to do
Then the Lord said to you, "I'm right here..."

Right here to carry you through
Right here opening doors for you
Faithful in every way...

Hold on old soldier...

    This song had me in mind, because I went through a lot of hardships in my life. But the trials and tribulations helped my faith in Jesus to increase. The Bible says that when you have faith the size of a mustard seed. You can move mountains. God has really showed out in my life. He has opened so many wonderful doors for me. I love you Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for helping me when I couldn’t see my way.

  8. A.... G....

    This my story here. No matter how much you think you got it together, there is always stumbling blocks in the way to remind you that you still need the Lord. Times are hard. The struggle is real but they that wait upon the Lord. Have mercy. Thank you Jesus for this oldie but goodie reminder. I heard it on Pandora Radio. Still blessing in 2019.Hang on in there everybody. Joy cometh to those of us that stay faithful. He will stay faithful as long as we are faithful. God bless us All.

  21. J.... W....

  52. A.... B....

    One my fav encouraging songs

  53. T.... B....

    I learned of this song while attending Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church. I loved it then and still do. I gotta hang on in here!! One of the most encouraging songs out here evenstill!!

  54. r.... ....

    Isaiah 53:5, he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS and the other is a WORK OF FAITH, Obedience to God's command. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ so people can get saved the right way. God bless you!

  55. r.... ....

  62. D.... W....

    I tear up because gospel of this kind no longer exist. Although I like the contemporary songs of today but this is what I grew up on. My heart hurts because gospel with
    These type of legends no longer exist. RIP Walter and Frank.

  63. L.... W....

    My husband died from cancer 18 years ago.
