In the night 
When the only thing my spirit can see
Is the scattered and decaying debris
Of dreams-that I've lost
And the light
Reveals enemies I thought were my friends
Criticizing all I live to defend
How can I be strong?

CHORUS:

Help me stand
When it's more than I can do
Not to fall
Jesus hear my call
Help me stand
When adversity's on every hand
When I've done all I can
Help me stand

At the time my vision fades into a mirage 
And integrity becomes a facade
When right appears wrong
In my mind
I can hear the jeering voice of despair
Saying only fools endeavor to care
How can I go on?

REPEAT CHORUS

This life is a swift 
And terrible race
Death comes to all
There's no hiding place

In the valley of shadows
I reach for your hand
Show me Your face
And by Your grace
I will stand
When it's more than I can do not to fall
Jesus hear my call
Help me stand
When adversity's on every hand
When I've done all I can
Help me stand
