Dad's ringtone is HOLD ON!

Most of my friends know that my favorite song is HOLD ON. This is from a Christian Contemporary music band called 33 miles. The lyrics is perfectly catchy because it strikingly influences everyone’s heart- it's as if Jesus is talking through that song. So everytime someone listens to this song for the first time, I know, he/she considers it LSS. I bet, even my dad.

I never thought that my dad will appreciate such kind of music. I remember some months ago when he asked me to download some songs in his cp. I don’t have a huge collection of worldy songs but I do have countless mp3s of CCMs and PWs. Some of the tracks that I have shared with him were one way, tell the world, Lord I give you my heart, shout for joy, and HOLD on.

My friends know how I like HOLD ON, and you guess how my heart jumped when I heard my dad’s phone rang. I smiled and look up, “Lord thank you for the gentle heart of my dad, who appreciates songs from me.” I believe, my dad is also proud of my compositions as he tells stories about these to his friends.

Music has always been part of my life. And I thank God for the father that he has given me, for he has never become a hindrance to any of my pursuits. He is supportive and kind to me. I know he is imperfect but God knows how I love him. Thank you Lord for the gift. Thank you for my dad’s life.

HOLD ON
by 33Miles
Ive been there a thousand times
Felt the rain like a thousand knives and it hurts
I know it hurtsIve been there like a fighter plane
Trying to fly my way through a hurricane and its hard
I know its hardDont be afraid
Youll make it through
Just call out to me
And Ill come running to you
Hold onHold on
When the current pulls you under
And your heart beats like thunder
Just give me your hand
And hold on
Hold onuntil the storm is over
And Ill be fighting for you
Just give me your hand
And hold on
Ill give you hope Ill give you faith
And if its dark Ill light the way for you
For youBy your side until the end
Until youre standing tall again
Iâm here
Ill always be here
Always be here
and if the tide sweeps you out to sea
When your strength is gone and its hard to believe
Hold on
Hold on
When the current pulls you under
And your heart beats like thunder
Just give me your hand
And hold on
Hold onuntil the storm is over
And Ill be fighting for you
Just give me your hand
And hold on
