I stand on this wall and I hear

My good Father's will

Through an ocean of voices I hold

I?ll stay and I'll build


Ruins and rubble will be

A great mighty wall

No matter the cost I refuse

To leave when You've called


I will stand strong

Knowing my Father is for me

Knowing my Father has called me

I?m not coming off this wall


Open my eyes to behold

All is not dead

When everything shakes I will cling

To Your promise instead

The enemy comes like a thief

To steal and destroy

But I know a strength that will come

In freedom and joy


I will stand strong

Knowing my Father is for me

Knowing my Father has called me

I'm not coming off this wall

I will stand strong

Knowing my Father is for me

Knowing my Father has called me

I'm not coming off this wall


Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, I believe You

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, I believe You

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, I believe You

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, I believe You

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, I believe You

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


I will stand strong

Knowing You always are for me

Knowing You always have called me

I'm not coming off this wall
