Lyrics

Stand Firm

Verse 1:

Winds of change are blowing hard,
Trying to pull me from Your yard.
Voices shouting to conform,
But I’ll weather every storm.
On the Rock I plant my feet,
In Your Word, my heart’s complete.

Chorus: 

Jehovah Sabaoth, Lord of Hosts,
In Your might, I will boast.
Ruach, strengthen me within,
Help me stand against the wind.

Verse 2: 

Tempted to forsake the path,
Faced with fire and the wrath.
But I recall Your promises,
Every word my soul refreshes.
Armor on, I face the night,
Trusting You to be my light.

Chorus: 

Jehovah Sabaoth, Lord of Hosts,
In Your might, I will boast.
Ruach, strengthen me within,
Help me stand against the wind.

Bridge:

Immanuel, God with us,
In Your name, I place my trust.
Though the world may shift and sway,
In Your presence, I will stay. 

Chorus: 

Jehovah Sabaoth, Lord of Hosts,
In Your might, I will boast.
Ruach, strengthen me within,
Help me stand against the wind.

Outro:

Standing firm till battles cease,
In Your grace, I find my peace.
