Stand

bluesprucesky

Stand.

When snowy weight collapses hope,

When freezing breaks the means to cope,

When winter winds fray final rope,

Stand.

When friend becomes the enemy,

When weakness bends a shaking knee,

When soul’s great thirst is to fight free,

Stand.

Stand firm, then…’

Open the Gates

Open the gates,

Let down the door,

My enemy follows

To even the score.

I beg for asylum,

For safety within,

So open the gates,

And let me come in!

The name of the Lord is a strong tower…”
