[Verse 1]
           C          G             C       G
It's the choice of a lifetime - I'm almost sure
        C           G          C        D
I will not live my life in-between anymore
      C            G          D             Em
If I can't be for certain of all that's in store
C            G         D
This far it feels so right

[Chorus]
        C      G      C
I will hold it up
        D         C      G     D
Hold it up to the li----ght
                         C  G  C  D  C  G  D
Hold it up to the light

[Verse 2]
      C            G               C         G
The search for my future -- has brought me here
         C             G             C           D
This is more than I'd hoped for but sometimes I fear
          C            G              D         Em
That the choice I was made for would someday appear
 C           G              D
I'll be too late for that flight

[Chorus]
        C      G      C
So I  hold it up
        D         C      G     D
Hold it up to the li----ght
                         C  D
Hold it up to the light
  C      D           G
Hold it up to the light

[Bridge 1]
         C              D           G
I said "God, will you bless this decision?
      C    D                    G
I'm scared --- it's my life at stake
        C   D                   Bm   Em
But I know --- if you gave me a vis--ion
          C         G         C       D
Would I never have reason to use my faith?"

[Verse 3]
        C           G             C        G
Now as soon as I'm moving - my choice is good
      C                 G             C              D
This way comes through right where I prayed that it would
      C            G         D           Em
If I keep my eyes open and look where I should
        C            G            D
Somehow all of the signs are in sight
C            D           G
If I hold it up to the light

[Bridge 2]
          C    D                        G
E|t's| too late --- to be stopped at the crossroads
      C         D                G
Each life here --- each possible way
     C    D                       Bm         Em
But wait --- and they all will be lost roads
      C              G           C         D
Each path's growing shorter the longer I stay

[Verse 4]
       C           G            C        G
E|was| dead with deciding -- afraid to choose
       C            G            C          D
I was mourning the loss of the choices I'd lose
            C             G        D            Em
But there's no choice at all if I don't make my move
      C             G          C     D
And trust that the timing is right

[Chorus]
        C      G      C
I will hold it up
        D         C      G     D
Hold it up to the li----ght
                         C  D
Hold it up to the light
  C      D           G
Hold it up to the light

[Chorus]
        C      G      C
I will hold it up
        D         C      G     D
Hold it up to the li----ght
                         C  D
Hold it up to the light
  C      D                  C  G
Hold it up to the li----ght

[Outro]
          C            D   C  G  D
(hold it up) (hold it up)
                            C  G
Hold it up to the li----ght
          C            D   C  G  D
(hold it up) (hold it up)
                            C  G
Hold it up to the li----ght
          C            D   C  G  D
(hold it up) (hold it up)
                            C  G  C  D  C  G  D
Hold it up to the li----ght
