[Verse 1] You think your spine is steel, you think your will is stone But that strength is an echo, it’s never been your own When the pavement cracks beneath you, and the circumstances rage I’m the current in the wire, I’m the turning of the page When the hard days leave you hollow, you know where you should run When the good times come to greet you, we walk beneath the sun Don’t you wander off alone, that open door is dark The enemy is waiting, to leave his bitter mark [Pre-Chorus] He can’t break you, he can’t control If you stay here in the center, if you anchor your soul Now capture every whisper, the destructive ones you keep You’re learning how to lean now, while the weary world is deep [Chorus] I am your strength, not a gift I give, but a truth that sets you free I am the fire in your spirit, just lean your weight on Me He’s losing his grip, he’s losing the fight, and you’re frustrating the plan You wanna know how to win? You stay right where you stand! [Verse 2] The battle rages hotter, you feel it in your chest When the pressure starts to mount, you know where to find your rest I want the absolute best for you, I’m always on your side But you have to walk the narrow path, with nothing left to hide Your family is a fortress, but there’s a storm outside You have to trust the unseen work, where My own truth will ride Reject the fear they offer, that’s the enemy’s reward You can point them to the promise, the truth in every word [Pre-Chorus] It’s okay to cry your heart out, to let them hear your plea But don’t attempt to control it, just give the space to Me Go pray over their bedrooms, cast the darkness to the floor Bring the light in with the Scripture, and stand right at the door [Chorus] I am your strength, not a gift I give, but a truth that sets you free I am the fire in your spirit, just lean your weight on Me He’s losing his grip, he’s losing the fight, and you’re frustrating the plan You wanna know how to win? You stay right where you stand! (Guitar Solo - melodic but heavy, with a sense of urgent resolve) [Bridge] Don’t stop praying, it tunes your heart to what they need It plants the seed of compassion, a good and honest deed Prayer is the faith in motion, it’s not a silent waste I will comfort you while waiting, a strength you get to taste You can trust Me to be working, so give Me space to move I want the very things you want, and I have nothing left to prove [Chorus] I am your strength, not a gift I give, but a truth that sets you free I am the fire in your spirit, just lean your weight on Me He’s losing his grip, he’s losing the fight, and you’re frustrating the plan You wanna know how to win? You stay right where you stand! [Outro] Stay close... (Drums and bass slow down, guitars sustain) You know you can trust Me... I love you, son... (Final feedback-laced chord rings out and fades)

Stay Right Where You Stand
