Stand

Stand your ground when trials swirl;
Fear may plague and taunt, memories hunt and tears abound.
Giving in sounds sweet as you consider retreat
Even when surrounded by doubt, stand your ground.
Stand your ground though pain swells;
Defenses raise, eyes turned red, hearts fail from heaviness and dred.
Solace and safety you seek behind walls of concrete,
Though trembling and shaken, stand your ground.
Stand your ground when weary and worn;
Hopeless sounds truer than promises of victory and future joy.
Words of comfort and encouragement fail inside you
Though you feel battered and broken, stand your ground.
As you stand you realize your not alone;
the lies that crippled you begin to lose their grip and hope can be felt.
Strength surges and truth rings out Jesus loves you!
He's been suffering beside you and holding tight,
His love saves you and now comes the breakthrough!

Standfast therefore...

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

Lord I trust You, help me get through!
