When I wanted to give up You said no
Wanted to throw my hands up You said hold on
When I wanted to toss the towel You said no my child
Now I stand instead Wondering will I dread The words you said
When I wanted to walk away You said stay
When I wanted to run and hide You said abide
When I wanted to leave it all I could hear you call
Now I stand instead Wondering will I dread The words you said
Somehow I`ll dry my tears And lift my head
Resist my fears and embrace The words you said
And now my faith has been restored
I`m learning to trust you more
Now I stand instead No longer dread The words you said
Somehow I`ll dry my tears And lift my head
Resist my fears and embrace The words you said
And now my faith has been restored
I`m learning to trust you more
Now I stand instead No longer dread The words you said
I`ll abide, I`ll sing, I will sing (tenors)
In the shadow, Underneath his wing I`ll abide I will sing (altos)
Shadow, Underneath his wing, I will sing (sop)
