I don\u2019t know how to say this<\/p>\n

How do I find the words<\/p>\n

The courage to stand back up<\/p>\n

The strength to continue on<\/p>\n

The ground became my comfort<\/p>\n

I\u2019d been thrown down so many times<\/p>\n

They think they can control me<\/p>\n

They think I\u2019m just pathetic<\/p>\n

Unable<\/p>\n

Extremely small<\/p>\n

Try me again<\/p>\n

Come at me<\/p>\n

I will stand my ground<\/p>\n

I will keep my head high<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t get to do this<\/p>\n

I am not playing pretend<\/p>\n

I know exactly how to do this<\/p>\n

I know the words to say<\/p>\n

I am standing head high with courage<\/p>\n

I will continue on<\/p>\n

The ground is just my altar<\/p>\n

Cause the more I\u2019m on my knees<\/p>\n

What I do while I am down<\/p>\n

I will continue to worship<\/p>\n

I will continue to go down<\/p>\n

So that my Lord will be lifted high<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t how I got down<\/p>\n

But how I get up<\/p>\n

God is my strength<\/p>\n

My courage<\/p>\n

My life<\/p>\n

If I stay down it is so His glory is lifted higher<\/p>\n

I am strong<\/p>\n

Through Christ alone I stand<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
