I Will Stand!
by Dennis Miranda I have fallen down countless times, falsely proclaiming: "I am fine!" Flat on my face in every clime and place; looking to the ground for a sign of some grace. Doing things my way only led me astray; to the bottle I'd run 'til it no longer was fun. Destroying who God so wonderfully made, increasingly drove me more insane. Once again lying flat on my face, I longed for some hope just a little grace. Years flew by hope no longer in sight; I began to wonder: "Would I ever get this right?" Then one day as I began to cave, I heard of a Savior who conquered the grave! Hope at last, and it came so fast! He brushed the dirt off my face and washed away my past! Never before have I experienced such love; that could have only been given from our Father above. His Word gave me hope as I faced every mountain; Jesus the Christ to my soul was a fountain. Although I'm not perfect He graciously understands; Here on this earth I am still just a man. "Run to win!" my Savior exclaims; "Never will I leave nor forsake you" my Jesus proclaims! Such words of encouragement I JUST CANNOT FAIL! A mighty wind is now blowing which catches my sail! Today I still battle with demons and such, but no longer do I stand on my old useless crutch. My Jesus, my Savior 'cause of Him I'm a new man; both now and forever by His strength I WILL STAND!
