Faith Audio Arsenal | Hold the Line
Sometimes songs just write themselves — this one flowed straight out of the theme of endurance we’ve been camping on all week. It’s an anthem for the weary, a reminder for the faithful, and a rally for anyone tempted to quit. The race is long, the arrows are real, but the finish line is worth every step. So crank this one up, and let it steady your soul.
By the way, my paid subscribers already got an alternate cut of this song earlier this week. If you’ve ever wondered what it sounds like when I can’t pick a favorite, that’s your clue. This is the version I saved for everybody — but if you want the “bonus track” vibes too, well, you know where the upgrade button lives.
Lyrics:
“Hold the Line”
[Intro]The fire is hot, the night is long,But faith in Christ will make me strong.
[Verse 1]Arrows fall, the shadows press,The world says quit — but I confess:My hope is fixed, my eyes won’t stray,The crown of life is on the way.
[Chorus]Hold the line, don’t let go,Raise your shield till the trumpet blows.Every step is worship, every breath a fight,The race is long, but the end is bright.
[Verse 2]The crowd may fade, the cheers may die,But truth still burns, and love won’t lie.Through trials deep, through darkest days,I’ll walk with Christ, His steady way.
[Pre-Chorus]I won’t retreat, I won’t fall back,His promises keep me on track.
[Chorus]Hold the line, don’t let go,Raise your shield till the trumpet blows.Every step is worship, every breath a fight,The race is long, but the end is bright.
[Bridge]Though weary hands may shake and tire,Your Spirit fuels a holy fire.The crown awaits, the prize is sure,In Christ alone, I will endure.
[Chorus — repeat stronger]Hold the line, don’t let go,Raise your shield till the trumpet blows.Every step is worship, every breath a fight,The race is long, but the end is bright.
[Outro]The fire is hot, the night is long,But faith in Christ will keep me strong.
