Lyrics

Help Me Stand
VS: IT?S A LONELY NIGHT
THICK WITH THE WORRIES OF THE DAY
A FLESH AND BLOODLESS FIGHT
SO DEEP I DON?T KNOW HOW TO PRAY
MY HOPE LIES WOUNDED ON A MOUNTAIN OF SHALE
I WANT TO CLIMB BUT I KNOW I?LL FAIL

CH: WHEN YOU WALKED ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH, MY LORD
DID YOU EVER JUST GET SICK AND TIRED OF TRYING?
WHEN YOU CARED SO MUCH THAT IT HURT MY LORD
DID THE LINE FEEL THIN BETWEEN LIVING AND DYING
YOU WHO ARE TENDER TO THE TRIALS OF MAN
WILL YOU BE MY DEFENDER, JUST WHERE I AM
AND HELP ME STAND, HELP ME STAND

VS2: IT?S A COLD, HARD WORLD
AND I MUST RISE ABOVE
WOULD I SLEEP UNDISTURBED
IF I COULD LOVE
MY SOUL IS WEARY, IT CRIES OUT FOR RELEASE
COME NOW, MY GOD AND BRING YOUR PEACE

CHORUS
BG: I WILL WORK WHILE THE NIGHT IS COMING
WHILE THE DAY IS YET AT HAND
AND HAVING SAID ALL, HAVING DONE ALL
I WILL STAND, I WILL STAND
