I’m always surprised where God finds a way to get a message through. A number of years ago, I was a long way from home in a hotel room working on a critical issue. As I was listening to my Ipod, the Darrell Worley song “I Will Hold My Ground” came on. As I listened to this secular country song, I realized that with God’s help, I can hold my ground. If you are open to God’s word you will be amazed where you will hear, see or read it. Here’s the lyrics I heard that night.
(Darryl Worley/Frank Rogers)
I have never had an easy life
But I’m not complaining
It has taught me how to stand and fight
For what I believe in
I guess that’s just how I was raised
I find it hard to walk away
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I’ve had enough
It’s not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I try my best to get through every day
Without confrontation
Stayin‘ out of everybody’s way
But then on occasion
Somebody steps across the line
And it’s not too long before they find
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I’ve had enough
It’s not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I’ve had enough
It’s not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
No it’s not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
Yeah I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
