Monday's Music Lyrics -- Stand by Bebe Winans

I don't care who you are, we will all face significant obstacles and challenges from time to time. Often some of the greatest growths one can experience in life, are during those hard times. It's as the saying goes "the darkest hour is just before dawn."

In these moments, there is a song I've leaned on over the years -- Stand by Bebe Winans. It paints the picture that when you've really done all you can do, the only thing left is to stand and rely on your faith. While I've blogged about my personal quarrels with God, he is still my source of strength. When, I feel my back is against the wall, I am desperately asking and trusting him for help... This song is my reinforcement... So, if you ever find yourself in a time of need, I suggest you listen to this song. It will empower you and lift your soul.


STAND by Bebe Winans
[Verse]
What do you do
when you've done all you can
And it seems like it's never enough?
And what do you say
when your friends turn away,
you're all alone?
Tell me, what do you give
When you've given your all,
and seems like
you can't make it through?

Stand and be sure
Be not entangled in that bondage again
You just stand, and be sure.
God has a purpose.
Yes, God has a plan.

Tell me what do you do
when you've done all you can
And it seems like you can't make it through
Child you just stand
You just stand
Stand
Don't you give up
Through the storm , through the rain
Through the hurt , through the pain

[Chorus]
Well, you just stand
When there's nothing left to do
You just stand
Watch the Lord see you through
Yes, after you've done all you can
You just stand

Don't you bow, don't bend
Don't give up, don't give in
Hold on, just be strong
God will step in and it won't be long

[Verse]
Tell me,
how do you handle the guilt of your past?
Tell me, how do you deal with the shame?
And how can you smile
when your heart is broken
and filled with pain?
Tell me what do you give
when you've given your all
Seems like you can't make it through?

After you've done all you can
After you've gone through the hurt
After you've gone through the pain
After you've gone through the storm
After you've gone through the rain
Prayed and cried,you've prayed and cried
Prayed and cried, prayed and cried
After you've done all you can, you just stand.

Child you just stand,
when there's nothing left to do
You just stand
Watch the Lord see you through
Yes, after you've done all you can
You just stand.
