 (Eph  6:13-17)

                                                                          

             C           

I will stand in the shadow of Your wings

               F                                        C       

When the storms all around me  close  in;

        C    

I will stand with Your armor, You so graciously supply

         F                      C

In Your strength…I will stand.

           F                                       C

    I will stand in the power of Your name

            F                                            Am

    I will stand though the earth be removed;

                   F                                        Am                     F 

    If the world swears You’re a lie…I’ll  remember how You  died

         F                 G                 C

    You hung upon a cross…so I could stand.

       C                                                       F                                  C

I will stand when I cannot understand, if I no longer feel the touch of Your hand

      C          

Even if I stand alone, having lost all I love most dear

           F                     C

In Your strength…I will stand.

          F                                       C

    I will stand on the promise of Your Word

           F                                               Am

    I will stand because You’re Faithful and  Sure

               F                                                    Am                  F

    When my legs lack strength to stand;  You’ll uphold me in your hand

       F                   G             C

    Having done all that I can…I will stand.

       C                                                     F                             C

I will stand at the threshold of death; Even in the evil day of Godlessness

         C                                                                            

I will lift my eyes toward Heaven, certain You’ll receive my soul

        F                   C

In Your strength…I will stand.

          F                                             C

    I will stand when the saints praise Your name,

             F                                              Am

    Crying,  “Worthy is the Lamb,  Who was  slain!”

                     F                                                   Am                   F

    But when I’m there before Your throne, on my knees  I will bow  low,

        (F)               G               Am      (Am…….G)

    For only in Your strength,  did I stand,

       F            G                        C

    For only in Your strength…Lord, I stand.
