Ten23 Lyrics

When I was young

The number caught my eye

What did it mean

Should I even try

Questioning myself

Praying to God

Angry why things had

To be so hard

I heard him whisper

Telling me what to do

Hold on to hope

I'm faithful to you

He was telling me what I

Needed to know

But I chose the way

I wanted to go

I chose going left and

I chose going right

I chose to go out and

Party every night

Little did I know

I was choosing to die

My soul was depleted

Couldn't figure out why

I was on my way down

Instead of looking up

Not ever feeling full

Or good enough

Putting a needle in my arm

I was blue

I was cold

I was almost gone

Hold on

When I was young

The number caught my eye

What did it mean

Should I even try

Hold on

Questioning myself

Praying to God

Angry why things had

To be so hard

Walking away from

Everyone I love

Even from my

Creator above

Little did I know

The time was coming soon

My life would change

Holy Spirit would move

I repented to God

Instead of going to hell

Sittin' alone

By myself in my cell

I made a choice

On that day

To follow God

For my soul

To be saved

Not knowing the outcome

Of what my life would be

I decided to trust and believe

I opened my Bible

Only to see

God's perfect message

Hebrews 10:23

Hold on

When I was young

The number caught my eye

What did it mean

Should I even try

Hold on

Questioning myself

Praying to God

Angry why things had

To be so hard

The reality of prison

Starts to grace my life

But an overwhelming peace

Broke the devil's lies

I understand my purpose

In a place so hopeless

I open my eyes

As I use dope less

Dope no more

I'm sober

I see things different

My life's not over

I opened the door

Jesus changed my life

I'm not giving up

I will always fight

I'm not alone

Always by my side

Giving grace

Opening my mind

Hold on

Hold on

Little did I know

The numbers

Spoke the truth

I started to see all the

Things he would do

Freedom on my lips

Sunshine on my face

As I walked out those doors

On that wonderful day

United with my family

Struggling everyday

No matter what happened

We would always pray

Reminded of

The numbers

I would see

Looking at the clock

I see 10:23

Hold On

Don't give up is

My message to you

His promises are faithful

This I know is true

Hold On

Hold on my love

Don't you give up

Hold on my love

Don't you give up

Hold On

Hold on my love

Don't you give up

His promises are faithful to you

Hold On

Hold on my love

Don't you give up

Hold on my love

Don't you give up

Hold On

Hold on my love

Don't you give up

His promises are faithful to you

Let us hold fast to the confession

Of our hope without wavering,

For He who promised is faithful

Hebrews 10:23
