We’re the scallywags of Archer Street
we don’t know when to quit
we go to shows, we sing out loud, we scuttle every pit
but when it comes to praising God, we always bow our knee
we go to Him, we sing out loud, it’s Him that made us free

From the depths of Sheol to the heart of shalom
we will stand strong together, we will never be alone
fill our cups full of courage, may our face hit the floor
when we are at our lowest point we stand at heaven’s door

The line is drawn our minds are set
we now know where we stand
it’s a brotherhood of men that stood
we follow the Father’s plan
the faith that lies within our hearts doesn’t come from the halls of a church
it’s not about religion, it’s about a friend, and it’s Him that gave us worth


lyrics by Tobin Bawinkel

Behind the Song:
"“Holdfast” reflects the feelings of camaraderie that are felt between friends and brothers who believe. It echoes the power that strong friendships, strong commitments, and strong beliefs have on individuals." - Tobin Bawinkel (Flatfoot 56)
