Long Time Comin' (Holdin' On)
by The Winans

Album: Family Tree

Background:
It's been a long time comin', but a change is gonna come
Waiting through the evening, tell me when will I see the sun

It's been a long time comin', but a change is gonna come
I've waited through the evening, tell me when will I see the sun

Lead 1:
Looking back in retrospect
Things I desired thought I'd never get
Wanting my dreams to happen right away

Lead 2:
But in your way the lesson you learned
Patience must have her perfect turn
When you got low you could hear the spirit say...

Background:
It's been a long time comin', but a change is gonna come
I've waited past the night, wonder when will I see the sun

Lead 1:
Satan tried to force it loose
Friends came and said "what's the use"
Oh but I kept holdin' on, not even knowing why

Lead 2:
Well, now you can speak from experience
If God says He hears, He certainly cares
Even now you can hear the Spirit cry

Background:
Secrets the Lord imparts
Keep them close to you heart
Don't ever let them die
Make them the apple of your eye
(repeat)

Secrets

Background:
It's been a long time comin', but a change is gonna come
I've waited till the morning, now I finally see the sun

Lead 1:
The message in this simple song is to keep on holdin'

Lead 2:
Holdin' on, Holdin' on
Till you see the sun, you gotta keep on holdin'

Lead 1:
Holdin' on, Holdin' on
Till you see the sun just keep on

Lead 2:
Holdin......on, till you finally see the sun you gotta keep on

Background:
Holdin' on, Holdin' on
Till you see the sun

It's too late to give up now

Lead 1:
God is going to answer your prayers
So you gotta keep on holdin' on

Background:
It's too late to give up now

Lead 2:
Just a little bit too late (fade out)
