WITHSTAND


Who's able to walk in my shoes?
Not a easy life felt like giving up 
Living became a fight
Who's able to go where I've been?
Seen things I shouldn't have 
Is there anyone who is willing to see what I've seen 
No I didn't think so 
Wouldn't wish my life on others 
But many can relate but some lose faith
Quick to judge and hold grudges
Don't wanna see you give your life to what's right but little do they know
Can't come between what God has redeemed 
wondered what all of it would mean 
Why is my life hard, why i held up this guard
now I realized it was a test of faith 
I couldn't keep making the same mistake 
Had to get right 
Wasn't easy it was a fight 
God renewed me
Once blemish made clean
Yes was lost
Laid my burdens On the cross 
The road I've come across was long and hard
I would be dead 
But God had favor instead 
The Lord's word i became hunger and was fed
Told me 
Nothing shall form against me shall prosper
depressed and sick he was my doctor
Who impress who? Surly not man
My soul my life it rest in God's hands 
Through God I can withstand
