Still Standing

Some berate me, try to break me

They can't see what's inside, I don't know why they hate me

It's degrading, isolating

But God still loves me, I'm still standing

Think I'm worthless, judge the surface

It makes me nervous, I'm sweating blood while seeking purpose

Like a circus, dodging curses

But God still loves me, I'm still standing

I've been judged, I've been beaten, I've been broken

I've been drowning in my sorrows and my hatred till I'm choking

My scars carry scars, every wound has been reopened

My heart is bruised and swollen till I'm leaking hemoglobin

Christ come stepping in, vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord

He lifts me up again, it says that this won't be ignored

No weapon shall prosper, it only makes me sharper

I'm embracing any slaughter while I'm standing next to the Father

People say I'm disgusting, yet they still discuss me

But if you're discussing me, that means you're discussing Christ as King

So I send them packing, every time I stick the landing

I'm never lacking, there's a light inside that keeps me standing

Some berate me, try to break me

They can't see what's inside, I don't know why they hate me

It's degrading, isolating

But God still loves me, I'm still standing

Think I'm worthless, judge the surface

It makes me nervous, I'm sweating blood while seeking purpose

Like a circus, dodging curses

But God still loves me, I'm still standing

I've been to the bottom, I lived in the dark I felt this world try to pull me apart

I don't even know where to start I've been rejected, I've been molested

I can name every time that my life's been tested

You think you curse me? I see it as a blessing

My reward's from heaven, I'm a bread that can't be leavened

I use fire to feed the fuel, convert it into something new

I know the living God still rules, like Mr. T, I pity fools

So let my testimony reveal everything that's phony

Everyone acting for Tonys, be abandoned like Shonies

Know that you're priceless, even when feeling lifeless

If you struggle with what life is, just remember what Christ did

Some berate me, try to break me

They can't see what's inside, I don't know why they hate me

It's degrading, isolating

But God still loves me, I'm still standing

Think I'm worthless, judge the surface

It makes me nervous, I'm sweating blood while seeking purpose

Like a circus, dodging curses

But God still loves me, I'm still standing
