Stand Firm In Your Faith

I must say it breaks my heart
At what  I see you going through
The trails and tribulations
That life has thrown at you

And all because you stand up
For what you know is right
Against a world that's lost in wonder
From the truth of Jesus Christ

Shunned by friends and family
All for your beliefs 
With the Holy Spirit in your heart
You can't help but speak of what you see

Didn't the Lord say this would happen
What they've done to me, they'll do to you
So don't dare falter in your convictions  
As you stand up for his Truth

When the world around them crumbles (and it will)
They'll come looking for that solid rock
As they reach out for something to grab hold of
You'll be there to reach back with the hand of God
