[Verse 1]
You plot in the dark
I walk in the light
You mark my road
But God marks my fight
You dig your pit
I build my praise
What you meant for harm
Turns into grace
[Pre-Chorus]
You will not break me
You will not bend me
Heaven is covering
Every part of me
You raise your hands
But they fall flat
The One who keeps me
Has my back
[Chorus]
Emelda stands tall
(Emelda stands tall)
Emelda stands tall
(stands tall)
You will not see me fall
God has me in His hand
You will be put to shame
When He makes my path stand
[Verse 2]
I’ve been through fire
Still here, still whole
Seen bitter waters
Turn sweet on my soul
You send your arrows
I send my praise
Your every scheme
Just fades away
[Pre-Chorus]
You will not break me
You will not bend me
Heaven is covering
Every part of me
You raise your hands
But they fall flat
The One who keeps me
Has my back
[Chorus]
Emelda stands tall
(Emelda stands tall)
Emelda stands tall
(stands tall)
You will not see me fall
God has me in His hand
You will be put to shame
When He makes my path stand
[Bridge]
Let them watch
Let them know
I am sealed
I am held
Every tongue that rises
Will lose its song
My God is mighty
My God is strong
[Final Chorus]
Emelda stands tall
(Emelda stands tall)
Emelda stands tall
(stands tall)
You will not see me fall
God has me in His hand
You will be put to shame
When He makes my path stand
Emelda stands tall
(Emelda stands tall)
Amen, amen, amen
