Still Standing

I've been beat up
I've been knocked down
No matter what happens
I'm still standing on
solid ground

I've been passed over
I've been stepped on
No matter what happens
I still have faith
I continue to stand tall
and strong

I've been lifted up
only to let down
No matter what happens
I don't stand alone

Jesus is standing with me
I see His footprints next to mine
He is the reason why
I'm still standing
strong and proud

Yes, yes, and yes again. I do know what you mean by your comment "Well God, was...but..that is a long story..." understandably so.....but that's alright..you are a lot stronger than you think you are....and I can prove it.....thanks for the conversation of allowing me to get to know more about you.
