Stand
I wrote this song to help young people remember how much strength they can receive from Jesus when they choose to be in holy places. They will become firm and strong as they stand with Jesus. When the storms of life swirl around them, they will be protected by having their foundation built on the rock of their Redeemer.

Lyrics
When the darkness falls,
We’ll have eyes to see the light
And ears to hear the voice of warning.
When the battle calls,
We’ll have strength to fight the fight,
And peace at night and courage in the morning.
There’s a power unfading in our hearts and our hands,
And a promise unchanging we will always have
When we stand in holy places and be not moved or swayed.
Stand and be a witness in every time and place.
God will fight our battles and keep us safe and guide us.
We will stand undaunted, for we know He stands beside us.
We will stand with Him
When the nations shift and fall
And all the sings foretold are come to pass.
We will stand with Him
When the mighty trumpets call,
And the angels sing that Christ has come to reign at last.
In our homes and temples, on the hills or the sand,
Every place that we go now is our promised land.

All of your songs are very prevalent to this exact day and time when we are starting to go back to church. I know you were led by the Spirit to write such prophetic words. I have put your songs on a playlist for months now and have titled it my walk with Christ. I really feel Christ walking beside me when I am listening to them and really pondering the lyrics.
