Check out the official music video for the new song ‘Hold On’ by Katy Nichole.
“Smoke clouds all around, couldn’t see your face, darkness consumed me
Stuck in the bitterness, but I know there’s a light that’s waiting up ahead
So, I’ll stay in the fight and look to the one who said hold on just a little bit longer
I know it’s gonna be okay, these days are gonna make you stronger”
This powerful song by Katy Nichole was written about one of the lowest times in her life, a time when she was battling depression and anxiety. And Katy shared more about the song and the heart behind it in a video she posted to Instagram.
“I wanted to talk about a song on my brand new album called ‘Hold On,’” she said. “This song is incredibly important to me, and it’s a little bit harder for me to talk about because it’s such a deep part of my story, and it is a little bit darker. I’ve dealt with a lot of anxiety and depression in my life and even at one point had suicidal thoughts. There was one point where I picked up a bottle of pills and I took it to the bathroom, and when I did—there was nothing in my path—but that bottle of pills fell onto the floor and spilled.”
Katy continued: “In that moment I felt God saying to me, ‘Hold on, I’m not done yet.’ I picked up those pills and threw them in the trash can because I knew that God still had a plan and a purpose for my life. I hope this song can encourage you and remind you that your life matters so, so much and you can hold on because you have a purpose.”
What an incredible testimony. And it is beautiful to see Katy use her story and her talent to shine the light of Christ to others through her music.
