Still Standing

We’ve faced every day

While trying to find our way

We’ve been scorned

We’ve had our hearts torn

We’ve been weak

Before we heard God speak

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

We’ve look at our hearts

To see where life starts

We’ve searched for purpose

Then saw it lying at the surface

We’ve wondered what’s in stone

Sometimes felt all alone

We’ve searched heaven above

For the things we love

We tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

We’ve grappled with doubt

Wondered if things would work out

Then faith made a landing

We’re still standing

We’ve searched for a word

That deserves to be heard

We’ve wondered what’s for us

Wondered who to trust

We’ve searched for a home

Where our souls can roam

We’ve wondered how we’d keep living

How to keep giving

If our daily journey

Was really for us only

If the world would know our name

How to let go of our shame

We’ve faced our naysayers

While saying our prayers

While longing for more

Until we were filled to the core

We longed for a moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Then faith made a landing

And we’re still standing
