Stand

These lyrics are from a song called "Stand" by Rascal Flatts. Although he's not in the Christian music arena per se, there is truth in this song. My sister sent these lyrics to me yesterday when I was in tears in front of Hertz rental car because of a situation that just threw me over the edge. It was the end of what I could logically deal with. I feel like this tree in the picture... being stripped away one piece, one branch at a time. Yet this tree continues to stand. And, therefore, so will I.

"You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand"
