[Verse 1] There’s a lion in the shadows, And we hear him when he roars, Trouble keeps on circling, Coming back around once more. We don’t know when it will finish, We can’t see beyond today, But Jesus, You have promised You will never turn away. [Pre-Chorus] Fear may make our hands shake, Tears may fill our eyes, But courage isn’t never fearing— It’s trusting You’ll provide. [Chorus] So still we stand, still we stand, With the shield of faith between us, Holding tightly hand in hand. When we’re weary from the battle And don’t understand Your plan, We will lean upon Your strength, Lord— And still we stand. [Verse 2] Faithful saints have faced the fire, Some were frightened, some were worn, But they held their hope in Jesus Through the darkness and the storm. Peace is not the absence of fear Or a heart that feels no pain; It’s knowing You are with us When the lion roars again. [Pre-Chorus] When our faith feels small and fragile, When we barely can believe, You’re still holding on to us, Lord, Even when our fingers weaken. [Chorus] So still we stand, still we stand, With the shield of faith between us, Holding tightly hand in hand. When we’re weary from the battle And don’t understand Your plan, We will lean upon Your strength, Lord— And still we stand. [Verse 3] We have carried too much worry, And our children see the strain, But together we are working Toward a brighter, better day. We don’t have to fix tomorrow Or defeat it all tonight; We just take the step before us With Your Word to be our light. [Bridge] When I am afraid, Lord, I will trust in You. When Jeannie’s strength is failing, Help me carry her through. And when my strength grows weary, Let her carry me too. We are not alone in battle— We are standing here with You. [Final Chorus] So still we stand, still we stand, Not because we have the answers, But because You hold our hands. The lion may keep roaring, But he cannot change Your plan; For the Lion out of Judah Is the reason that we stand. Yes, still we stand, still we stand, With the shield of faith before us, Holding tightly hand in hand. Day by day, Your grace will meet us; You will give us strength again. We are frightened, but not forsaken— By Your strength, Lord, Still we stand. [Outro] We don’t have to face tomorrow; You give grace enough today. The lion may be roaring, But Jesus leads the way.
