Help Me Stand
[Verse 1]
In the night, when the only thing my spirit can see
Is the shattered and decaying debris
Of dreams that I've lost
And the light reveals enemies I thought were my friends
Criticizing all I live to defend
How can I go on?

[Chorus]
Help me stand
When it's more than I can do not to fall
Jesus, hear my call
Help me stand
When adversity's on every hand
And I've done all I can
Help me stand
Help me stand

[Verse 2]
At the time whеn my vision fades into a mirage
And integrity bеcomes a facade
When right appears wrong
And in my mind, I can hear the jeering voice of despair
Saying, "Only fools endeavor to care."
How can I go on?
[Chorus]
Help me stand
When it's more than I can do not to fall
Jesus, hear my call
Help me stand
When adversity's on every hand
When I've done all I can
Help me stand

[Bridge]
This life is a swift and terrible race
Death comes to all
There's no hiding place
In the valley of shadows, I reach for your hand
Show me Your face
And by Your grace

[Chorus]
I will stand
When it's more than I can do not to fall
Jesus, hear my call
Help me stand
When adversity's on every hand
When I've done all I can

[Chorus]
Help me stand
When it's more than I can do not to fall
Jesus, hear my call
Help me stand
When adversity's on every hand
When I've done all I can
Help me stand
[Fade]
Help me stand, ooh
Help me stand
