Hey, heard you were up all night

Thinkin' 'bout how your world ain't right

And you wonder if things will never get better

And you're askin' why is it always rainin' on you

When all you want is just a little good news

Instead of standin' there stuck out in the weather

Oh, don't hang your head, it's gonna end

God's right there

Even if it's hard to see Him

I promise you that He still cares

When the waves are takin' you under

Hold on just a little bit longer

He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger

The pain ain't gonna last forever

And things can only get better

Believe me, this is gonna make you stronger

Gonna make you stronger (oh-whoa), stronger (oh-whoa), stronger (oh-whoa)

Believe me, this is gonna make you

Try, and do the best you can

Hold on, and let Him hold your hand

Go on, fall into the arms of Jesus (arms of Jesus), oh-oh

Lift your head, it's gonna end

God's right there

Even when you just can't feel Him

I promise you that He still cares

When the waves are takin' you under

Hold on just a little bit longer

He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger

The pain ain't gonna last forever

And things can only get better

Believe me, this is gonna make you stronger

'Cause if He started this work in your life

He'll be faithful to complete it, if only you believe it

He knows how much it hurts, and I'm sure that

He's gonna help you get through this, yeah, ooh-hoo, oh

When the waves are takin' you under

Hold on just a little bit longer (a little bit longer)

He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger

The pain ain't gonna last forever (ain't gonna last forever)

In time, it's gonna get better (it's gonna get better, better)

Believe me, this is gonna make you stronger (ooh)

Gonna make you stronger (gotta hold on just a little bit longer)

Stronger (the pain ain't gonna last forever)

Stronger (it's only gonna make you stronger)

Believe me, this is gonna make you stronger (gotta hold on just a little bit longer)

Stronger (the pain ain't gonna last forever)

Stronger (it's only gonna make you stronger)

Believe me, believe me

(Gotta hold on just a little bit longer)

(The pain ain't gonna last forever)

(It's only gonna make you stronger)
