Verse 1 (soft, honest) I’ve been down where the light won’t stay Fought my demons, tried to walk away Lost myself in the things I chose Still you never let me go I was weak, I was barely holdin’ on Every right just kept goin’ wrong But somehow through the darkest storm You were there all along Pre-Chorus (build) I was fallin’ to my knees… But you gave me back my breath… Chorus (open up, strong but not shouting) Now I’m standin’ for you, Lord… Where I used to fall apart (hold “Lord”) Yeah you pulled me from the shadows Put your fire in my heart I ain’t perfect, I ain’t clean But I’m stronger than before And I’m standin’ right here today… Yeah I’m standin’ for you, Lord Verse 2 I remember who I used to be Didn’t think you’d still reach for me But you saw what I couldn’t see Something worth savin’ in me Now I walk with a different stride Got your truth on my side Ain’t no darkness I won’t survive With your hand in mine Pre-Chorus Yeah you lifted up my soul… When I couldn’t stand alone… Chorus Now I’m standin’ for you, Lord… Where I used to fall apart Yeah you pulled me from the shadows Put your fire in my heart I ain’t perfect, I ain’t clean But I’m stronger than before And I’m standin’ right here today… Yeah I’m standin’ for you, Lord Bridge (strip down → powerful lift) I was lost but now I’m found… Was buried deep but I came out… (build) You gave me a reason… To stand my ground… Final Chorus (full gospel lift) Now I’m standin’ for you, Lord… Ain’t afraid no more (push this one) Yeah you gave me back my life When I was at the door Now I’m walkin’ in the light Where I never stood before And I’m standin’ here forever… Yeah I’m standin’ for you, Lord (FINAL NOTE: hold “Lord” wide vibrato, full release)
