Stand Anyway

Verse 1

When the voices all get louder

And the easy road looks wide

When the truth feels like a whisper

And the crowd has picked a side

When the cost of being faithful

Feels too heavy in my hands

I will lift my eyes to heaven

And remember who I am

Pre-Chorus

I was never called to comfort

I was never called to blend

I was called to keep on walking

Even to the very end

Chorus

Even if I have to stand alone

Even if the world says let it go

When the night is long and I feel small

I will not be moved, I will not fall

God did not ask for safe or known

He asked my heart, He asked my soul

So when the line is drawn, here is where I stand

Even if I stand alone, God expects me to stand

Verse 2

There are days my knees are shaking

There are tears I never show

There are battles in the silence

Only heaven gets to know

But the fire in my calling

Was not lit by human hands

And the One who placed it in me

Gives me strength enough to stand

Pre-Chorus

I was never called to follow

Every fear that fills the air

I was called to bear a witness

To the truth that brought me here

Chorus

Even if I have to stand alone

Even if the world says let it go

When the night is long and I feel small

I will not be moved, I will not fall

God did not ask for safe or known

He asked my heart, He asked my soul

So when the line is drawn, here is where I stand

Even if I stand alone, God expects me to stand

Bridge

If no one else believes it

If no one else will stay

If no one else will say Your name

I will still obey

If the ground beneath me trembles

I will trust Your higher plan

Because I’d rather stand with heaven

Than be praised by broken man

Final Chorus

Even if I have to stand alone

Even if the world says let it go

When the night is long and I feel small

I will not be moved, I will not fall

God did not ask for safe or known

He asked my heart, He asked my soul

So when the line is drawn, here is where I stand

Even if I stand alone, God expects me to stand

Outro

So let the winds rise if they can

By His grace, I’ll stand

By His word, I’ll stand

Even if I stand alone

I will stand
