Title: It Shall Not Stand
[Verse 1] (0:00 - 0:30)
The northern wind is blowing fierce and cold
A league of shadows, stories of old
They march on the gates of the broken king
Whispering the terror that tomorrow will bring
Iron and shields at the city wall
Waiting for the house of David to fall
[Verse 2] (0:30 - 1:00)
Ahaz is shaking like a wind-blown tree
Blinded by the army that his eyes can see
He’s counting the chariots, mapping the dread
Forgetting the promises that Yahweh said
But the prophet is walking through the smoke and fear
With a heavy word for the trembling ear
[Chorus] (1:00 - 1:30)
Thus says the Sovereign Lord of Light
It shall not stand against My might!
It shall not come to pass today
The plans of man will fade away!
Though nations rage and kingdoms rise
Look up and see through Heaven's eyes
It shall not stand!
It shall not stand!
[Verse 3] (1:30 - 2:00)
Ephraim has plotted, Damascus has sworn
To tear down the crown and leave it torn
They want a puppet on Judah's throne
But they forgot the city belongs to God alone
A human decree is a breath in the dust
When the King of Glory is the one we trust
[Chorus] (2:00 - 2:30)
Thus says the Sovereign Lord of Light
It shall not stand against My might!
It shall not come to pass today
The plans of man will fade away!
Though nations rage and kingdoms rise
Look up and see through Heaven's eyes
It shall not stand!
It shall not stand!
[Bridge - Part 1] (2:30 - 2:55)
If you do not stand firm in your faith
You will not stand at all!
If you do not stand firm in His grace
Your walls are bound to fall!
But the Word is secure, the decree is spoken
The chains of the enemy are already broken!
[Bridge - Part 2] (2:55 - 3:20)
A virgin shall bear a son in the night
Immanuel, God with us, our eternal light!
So let the kings counsel, let the armies conspire
Our God is a wall of consuming fire!
