stand!

                                      STAND

STAND

   I KNOW WHO I AM IN THIS WORLD

   I AM HIS, A CHILD PROTECTED

                          SO

   I STAND.

THE GROUND AROUND ME

   TREMBLES AND QUAKES

WITH A THOUSAND PROBLEMS

               STILL

I STAND.

THE ENEMY USES THE TONGUES

   OF THE VERY PEOPLE I HAVE LOVED

AND HIS ACCUSATIONS STING

           BUT ALWAYS....

I STAND.

UNCERTAINTY AND FEAR WOO ME

   TO PERSUADE ME TO ALLOW THEM TO BE MY CONSTANT COMPANIONS

BUT THEY WANT TO BREAK ME,

   TO MAKE ME FALL IN PIECES OF DEFEAT.....

SO I LOOK AWAY FROM THEM AND

          STAND.

ONE DAY I WILL KNEEL

   I WILL FALL

I WILL LAY ON MY FACE

   TO GIVE MY ALL

TO THE ONLY ONE WHO

   GAVE ME POWER THROUGH HIS LOVE

TO STAND.
