Stay Right Where You Stand

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

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

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!

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

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

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)

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

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!

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)
