Keep the Faith
For all of those who have gone through some things in life, for those who are going through some trials in life or will be going through some painful changes in life, I ask you to keep the faith.
Donnie McClurkin, when lifting his voice to praise God, sings; "Stand"
What do you do
When you've done all you can and it seems like its never enough
And what do you say when your friends turn away and you're all alone
Tell me what do you give
When you've given your all and it seems like you can't make it through
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
Tell me how do you handle the guilt of your past Tell me how do you deal with the strain
And how can you smile when your heart has been broken and filled with pain
Tell me what do you give When you've given your all and it seems like you can't make it through
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, stand and be sure Be not entangled in that bondage, oh you just stand and endure God has a purpose, yes God has a plan
Tell me what do you do When you've done all you can and seems like you can't make it through
Child, you just stand, stand, you just stand, stand, stand, stand Through the storm, stand, stand through the rain Stand, through the hurt, stand, yeah through the pain, you just DON'T YOU STOP, "STAND", AND DON'T YOU BEND, "STAND", DON'T GIVE UP "STAND", NO DON'T GIVE IN, you just Hold on, "STAND", just be strong, "STAND" God will step in, "STAND", and it won't be long, you just
After you've done all you can
After you've gone through the hurt
After you've done all you can, after you've gone through the pain
After you've done all you can, after you've gone through the storm
After you've done all you can, after you've gone through the rain
After you've done all you can, prayed and cried, after you've done all you can
Prayed and cried, after you've done all you can, prayed and cried
After you've done all can, prayed and cried, after you've done all you can
After you've done all you can, you just stand.
1 Peter 5:9-11
New International Version
9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
