Verse 
            G 
As you walk through the shadow 
          C               D 
Feel your weight on solid ground 
            G 
As you tremble in the darkness 
          C               D 
In the midst of silent sounds 
            G 
As you search for your answer 
       Em      D      C 
And no answer has been found 
    G          D          G 
May you stand, stand your ground 

verse 2 
            G 
And when you come to the table 
          C               D 
To lay your burdens down 
       G 
As you wait upon the weary 
          C               D 
For whom no rest was found 
            G 
As you search for to lean on 

       Em      D      C 
And find no friend around 
        G      D          G 
May you stand, stand your ground 

            G                 C 
And may you stand, stand your ground 
            G             D 
May you stand, stand your ground 
         G 
When the last step is before you 
         Em       D       C 
And you feel like falling down 
    G          D          G 
May you stand, stand your ground 

verse 3 
            G 
And as you kneel in the garden 
    C         D 
And no one is around 
            G 
As you raise your hands above you 
          C               D 
And from your lips cry out 
    G 
Oh Father forgive me 
       Em      D    C 
For I could not see through my doubt 
        G      D          G 
May you stand, stand your ground 

            G                 C 
And may you stand, stand your ground 
            G             D 
May you stand, stand your ground 
         G 
When the last step is before you 
         Em       D       C 
And your light is burning out 

    G          D          G 
May you stand, stand your ground 
C            G     D          G 
Oh, may you stand, stand your ground 
C           G      D          G 
Oh, May you stand, stand your ground
