This song is amazingly simple to play, and consists of only two
chords. I'm pretty sure this is the first copy of this on the
net...

Intro: A | E | A | E | A

A                                       E               A
There's a path along life's highway, so common and well trod
                                                                 E
By the shoes of burdened Christians who won't put their trust in God
             A                            E                 A
They've been born of the Spirit, but they live by what they see
                                          E         A
So they trust in their own effort, never living in belief

                                  E             A
I'm not holding on to Jesus, He's holding on to me
                                 E
He died and rose again to set me free
     A                          E                   A
I am resting in the Spirit, not afraid of what will be
                                  E             A
I'm not holding on to Jesus, He's holding on to me

Instrumental: A E A E A E A E A

                                       E               A
If you're living in the dungeon in the heavy chains of fear
                                                     E
Don't live another minute in the lies you're holding dear
    A                                   E                  A
The chains have all been shattered, the light is streaming in
                                         E             A
You can't close your eyes forever to the One who lives within

                                  E             A
I'm not holding on to Jesus, He's holding on to me
                                 E
He died and rose again to set me free
     A                          E                   A
I am resting in the Spirit, not afraid of what will be
                                  E             A
I'm not holding on to Jesus, He's holding on to me

Instrumental: A E A E A E A E A

                                  E             A
I'm not holding on to Jesus, He's holding on to me
                                 E
He died and rose again to set me free
     A                          E                   A
I am resting in the Spirit, not afraid of what will be
                                  E             A
I'm not holding on to Jesus, He's holding on to me

                E     A           E             A
I'm not holding on to Jesus, He's holding on to me
                ^     ^
These chord changes are optional. The bass changes here, but
it sounds fine whether you leave them in or not. It's quite
a fast change, so just do what you're comfortable with.
