STAND

He commands me to stand

When I wanted to run

Stand… He said

When the fig tree does not blossom

Stand… He said

When there’s no fruit on the vine

Stand… He said

When the fields yield no harvest

Stand though my child it’s hard

To stand and you want to run

So I stood

Though it was hard

I stood in faithfulness

I stood in hope

I stood though it pained me to stand

I stood when I did not want

To do the same things again and again

I stood even when I felt shame

I stood… though rejected

I stood…when engulfed in fear

I stood… inspite of my doubts

I stood when I felt all alone

I stood through my weakness

Because He gave me His grace

To endure… to persevere… to stand

He empowered me

He refreshed me

He revived me

He healed me

So I was enabled to stand

I did not run away

But became an overcomer

In standing I became victorious
