美國歌壇天后［惠妮休斯頓］──福音／靈魂曲──［Hold On, Help Is On The Way／撐住，救援馬上就到］

When youre down and in despair
Dont be uneasy because Hell be there
Say, dont you worry, no, dont you fret
The Lord has never, never failed you yet

So hold on (hold on)
Help is on the way (help is on the way)
Hold on (hold on)
God is on his way (help is on the way)
Hey, hold on (hold on)
Hes on his way (help is on the way)
He told me to hold on (hold on)
Hes on his way (help is on the way)
Hold on (hold on)
Hes coming soon (help is on the way)
Pray, hell be there (hold on)
Cmon, now, yeah (help is on the way)

Now when it seems that you cant stand
Just hold on to Gods unchanging hand
Yeah, weeping may, yes, endure for just one night
But joy will come in the morning light

Hold on (hold on)
Hes on his way (help is on the way)
Come on, hold on (hold on)
See, Ive tried it and I know (help is on the way)
Help is on the way (hold on)
Hold on (help is on the way)
Im begging cause I know (hold on)
Hes on his way (help is on the way)

He may not come (He may not come)
When you want him (when you want him)
But hes right on time (but Hell be right there on time)
Hell be right there, oh, hey, hey, hey

Help is on the way (help is on the way)
Help is on the way (help is on the way)
Help is on the way (help is on the way)
Help is on the way (and I know its a)
Help is on the way (the word told me)
Help is on the way (if I ask Hes on his way)
Help is on the way (I thank him cause I know he is)
Help is on the way

Come on, just say (help)
Come on, just cry (help)
Ask him for a little bit (help)
Hell give it to you right away (help)
Believe Hes on his way now (help)
Know the help I know (help)
See, Ive called him before, He said (help)
His help on the way (help is on the way)
So glad to know, hey, woo

１９９６年秋天，３３歲的美國非裔天后惠妮休斯頓（Whitney Houston）與丹尼佐華盛頓（Denzel Washington）主演翻拍１９４７年［The Bishops Wife／主教之妻］的幻想文藝喜劇電影〔The Preacher’s Wife／天使保鑣〕（Buena Vista Pictures發行）

評價普通, 票房中等。

１１月推出的［The Preacher’s Wife］大碟（Arista／BMG出版）共有１５首歌曲全由休斯頓演唱,

製作群包括Mervyn Warren／Ricky Minor／Steve Lipson／Babyface／David Foster,以及休斯頓。

曲風包括福音, 靈魂, R&B以及流行 ,　樂評頗佳。 

商業也算成功, 登上Billboard專輯榜＃３（1997年終#17）　至今在美賣出三百多萬張（３白金）

英國＃３５　銀唱片（６萬張＋）

德國＃９（1997年終#73）　日本＃１４　白金唱片（２５萬張＋）

歐洲　白金唱片（１００萬張＋）

除了三首正式單曲外，原聲帶專輯有多首福音佳作．

其中之一是［Hold On, Help Is On The Way／撐住，救援馬上就到］

此曲由Rev. Kenneth Paden創作　惠妮與Mervyn Warren製作成一首福音／靈魂曲

在中板的節奏，休斯頓領唱，喬治亞大眾合唱團（Georgia Mass Choir）福音和聲

激昂有力，歌曲昂揚向上，予人希望．

［Hold On, Help is On the Way］並未打入Billboard副榜──福音榜

但後來登上福音數位下載榜＃１６．
