Stand Firm

I sing to the children of God.
Stand firm, Stand firm.
I pray for the children of God.
Stand firm, Stand firm.

When the enemy comes to you.
When you face the accuser.
You'll know what to do.
Stand on the truth in love.

We have the choice every day.
Which character to put on?
If you listen to what some may say,
You might be led astray.

The character of the accuser
Is not for you to be.
The character of eternal love
That's what you hold on to.

In the name of Jesus is a place.
In the character of Jesus.
He already knows your face.
He draws closer to the believers.

The life of the flesh is in the blood. (1)
The life of God Himself is in you. (2)
His life is love. We love others well. (2)
We love ourselves well. (2)

Give no place to the accuser.
When you're not an accuser, (2)
then you are a savior. (2)
Stand on the truth in love.

I pray for the children of God.
Stand firm, Stand firm.

Psalm 144:9a,11,13a,15b (NIV)
9 I will sing a new song to you, my God;
11 deliver me;
rescue me from the hands of foreigners
whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.
13 Our barns will be filled
with every kind of provision.
15 blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
