Love Stands Firm

Verse 1

I didn’t ask for the thunder,

Didn’t pray for the night,

I was just trying to hold on

To what I knew was right.

Then the sky turned heavy,

And the road got slow,

That’s when I learned what I’m made of

When the hard winds blow.

Pre-Chorus

I’ve seen easy faith fade in the calm,

But storms teach the heart how to stand.

Chorus

’Cause faith is born in the breaking,

Strength is found in the fight,

Hope gets louder in the darkness

When you’re reaching for the light.

I don’t bend, I don’t fold,

I grow deeper in my soul—

That’s where faith and strength are formed

When the hard winds blow.

Verse 2

I’ve walked through the valley

With my hands open wide,

Lost a few things I loved

But I never lost my why.

Every scar tells a story

Of a truth I now know—

You don’t learn how to stand tall

Till the hard winds blow.

Pre-Chorus

I’ve heard fear whisper “give in,”

But grace said “child, hold fast.”

Chorus

’Cause faith is born in the breaking,

Strength is found in the fight,

Hope gets louder in the darkness

When you’re reaching for the light.

I don’t bend, I don’t fold,

I grow deeper in my soul—

That’s where faith and strength are formed

When the hard winds blow.

Bridge (build it… half-time, then lift)

Let it shake what can’t last,

Let it burn what’s not true,

If it drives me to my knees

Then it’s driving me to You.

I’ve been tested, I’ve been tried,

Still I’m standing, still alive—

What was meant to break me

Built a fire deep inside.

Chorus (Lift / Final)

Faith is born in the breaking,

Strength is sealed in the fight,

Love stands firm in the storm

When there’s nowhere left to hide.

I don’t bend, I don’t fold,

I grow deeper in my soul—

This is who I’m becoming

When the hard winds blow.

Outro (quiet, resolute)

Yeah, I thank God for the calm…

But I trust Him in the storm.
