Stand to Fall
Why am I here?
I know I'm not this strong.
What am I doing?
I know this won't last long.
Why am I trying?
I know this will turn out wrong.
Why am I leaving?
I don't want You to be gone.
But I am reminded,
Sometimes I stand just to fall,
But You are here through it all.
Sometimes I try just to fail,
But You are waiting through the gale.
Sometimes I struggle just to stand,
But when I rise I'm in Your hands.
I thought I could do it on my own.
I thought I could just go alone.
I thought I was strong enough.
Didn't think the world would call my bluff.
I fell and I sought the truth.
I was reminded that I need You.
I knew I needed You,
Sometimes I stand just to fall,
But You are here through it all,
Sometimes I try just to fail,
But You are waiting through the gale,
Sometimes I struggle just to stand,
But when I rise I'm in Your hands.
Everywhere I look I see You.
How can I ignore what you want me to do?
Everywhere I turn I feel Your love.
How can that not be enough?
I'm trying to stand strong by Your side.
I want to let you be my guide.
Lord, be my guide,
Sometimes I stand just to fall,
But You are here through it all,
Sometimes I try just to fail,
But You are waiting through the gale,
Sometimes I struggle just to stand,
But when I rise I'm in Your hands.
I want to stay in Your hands.
I want to stand.
I know I'm not this strong.
What am I doing?
I know this won't last long.
Why am I trying?
I know this will turn out wrong.
Why am I leaving?
I don't want You to be gone.
But I am reminded,
Sometimes I stand just to fall,
But You are here through it all.
Sometimes I try just to fail,
But You are waiting through the gale.
Sometimes I struggle just to stand,
But when I rise I'm in Your hands.
I thought I could do it on my own.
I thought I could just go alone.
I thought I was strong enough.
Didn't think the world would call my bluff.
I fell and I sought the truth.
I was reminded that I need You.
I knew I needed You,
Sometimes I stand just to fall,
But You are here through it all,
Sometimes I try just to fail,
But You are waiting through the gale,
Sometimes I struggle just to stand,
But when I rise I'm in Your hands.
Everywhere I look I see You.
How can I ignore what you want me to do?
Everywhere I turn I feel Your love.
How can that not be enough?
I'm trying to stand strong by Your side.
I want to let you be my guide.
Lord, be my guide,
Sometimes I stand just to fall,
But You are here through it all,
Sometimes I try just to fail,
But You are waiting through the gale,
Sometimes I struggle just to stand,
But when I rise I'm in Your hands.
I want to stay in Your hands.
I want to stand.
