David Meece - Help Me Stand lyrics

rate me

In the night

When the only thing my spirit can see

Is the scattered and decaying debris

Of dreams-that I've lost

And the light

Reveals enemies I thought were my friends

Criticizing all I live to defend

How can I be strong?

CHORUS:

Help me stand

When it's more than I can do

Not to fall

Jesus hear my call

Help me stand

When adversity's on every hand

When I've done all I can

Help me stand

At the time my vision fades into a mirage

And integrity becomes a facade

When right appears wrong

In my mind

I can hear the jeering voice of despair

Saying only fools endeavor to care

How can I go on?

REPEAT CHORUS

This life is a swift

And terrible race

Death comes to all

There's no hiding place

In the valley of shadows

I reach for your hand

Show me Your face

And by Your grace

I will stand

When it's more than I can do not to fall

Jesus hear my call

Help me stand

When adversity's on every hand

When I've done all I can

Help me stand
