Barely hanging on
By a thread of hope
Hard to see beyond
Everything unknown
With Your strength I?ll stand
It?s all I can do
I will lift my hands
And sing my way through
So when I?m broken
At my weakest
In my darkest hour
I?ll let my worship be a weapon
On this battle ground
From the depths of the lowest place
I will give you the highest praise
The highest praise
I am hanging on
To every word You speak
I can see beyond
Into the victory
Lord You never left
Lord You never change
All my confidence
In Jesus name
Cause? the cross put the enemy to shame
Now my song echos through an empty grave
Cause? the cross put the enemy to shame
Now my song echos through an empty grave

Vertical Worship's song 'Weapon' is about choosing worship as a response to hardship and spiritual struggle. The lyrics describe feeling broken and weak, yet lifting praise to God as an act of defiance against darkness. The song draws on the imagery of a battle, where worship becomes a weapon. It references the cross and the empty grave as the ultimate victory over shame and death. The message is one of perseverance, confidence in God's unchanging nature, and finding strength in His words even when hope feels thin.
