Still Standing

We’ve faced difficult days

While embracing God’s loving ways

We’ve grappled with fear

Before seeing God standing near

We’ve felt weak

Until we heard God speak

We searched high and low

For what will help us grow

Before God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We’ve faced the enemy

While God revealed what’s meant to be

We’ve felt ashamed

We’ve been defamed

We’ve been scorned

We’ve had our hearts torn

We’ve gotten lost

Not knowing the cost

Until God turned us around

Put us on solid ground

We’ve searched for purpose

Before it rose to the surface

We’ve dealt with stress and strain

Heartache and pain

We had a safe landing

We’re still standing

We’ve searched for a safe space

Before finding mercy and grace

We’ve fallen then risen again

Knowing faith helped us win

Others have doubted us

In God we trust

We’ve learned to stand

While holding God’s hand

We’ve faced our naysayers

While saying our prayers

We’ve lost our voice

Before beginning to rejoice

We’ve felt unsure

We’ve felt insecure

Before God gave us wings

Then showed us beautiful things

We’ve done a victory dance

To celebrate our second chance

We’ve forgotten how to dream

Strange though it may seem

Before we had a soft landing

We’re still standing
