[Verse 1 — Male] Some battles come against us, And we can see them face to face. We know exactly where they stand, We know the time and place. We feel the fear within us, We wonder if we're strong— And sometimes all that we can pray Is, “Lord, help me hold on.” [Verse 2 — Female] Some battles rise within us, Where no one else can see. Old wounds we thought were buried Still trouble memory. We try to leave the past behind, But still it follows on— And sometimes all that we can pray Is, “Lord, help me hold on.” [Chorus — Male & Female] The Lord is our Rock, The Lord is our Refuge, Our strength when our own strength is gone. When the battle is around us, When the battle is within, We do not have to face it alone. The Lord is our Rock, The Lord is our Refuge— In Him we will stand. [Verse 3 — Male/Female alternating] [Male] I cannot fight tomorrow Before tomorrow comes. [Female] I cannot change the things I've done Or everything I've lost. [Male] But I can place this day with Him. [Female] And give Him what I fear. [Male] I can ask Him for the courage— [Female] To trust that He is near. [Chorus — Male & Female] The Lord is our Rock, The Lord is our Refuge, Our strength when our own strength is gone. When the battle is around us, When the battle is within, We do not have to face it alone. The Lord is our Rock, The Lord is our Refuge— In Him we will stand. [Bridge — Alternating, building through harmony] [Male] When I am afraid— [Female] Lord, strengthen me. [Male] When I cannot see— [Female] Lord, stay with me. [Male] When the road is hard— [Female] Help me take one more step. [Both] Not by our strength, Not by our power— Lord, We place our trust in You. [Instrumental] [Final Chorus — Both] The Lord is our Rock, The Lord is our Refuge, Our strength when our own strength is gone. When the battle is around us, When the battle is within, We do not have to face it alone. The Lord is our Rock, The Lord is our Refuge— In Him we will stand. [Outro — Male/Female alternating] [Male] Whatever comes— [Female] Whatever remains— [Male] Through every trial— [Female] Through every pain— [Both] The Lord is our Rock. The Lord is our Refuge. In Him We will stand.
