I know where I am going,

because I choose to live in the light,

and I know I will struggle,

but I have God by my side.

Evil is all around me,

testing me to do what's wrong,

but I will not back away,

for God has made me strong.



God has saved me from my pain,

and for Him I will stand.

I've been made new,

by the blood that was shed.

I've been made strong,

by His power over death.



I will stand strong to His name.

I will stand strong without shame.

I will stand strong in the midst of pain.

For to live is to die,

and to die is to gain.
