There were times I thought I wouldn't make it
I admit I felt like giving up
Your grace and mercy found me
Your love was all around
When the pressures of life weighed me down
I'm so glad You
(You stood for me)
When I'm weak You are strong (You are strong)
You give me strength to carry on (strength to carry on)
You are perfect in all Your ways
God who reigns ancient of days
You did not let me fall
(I'm so glad) You stood (You stood for me)
(There were times I thought I wouldn't make it)
I admit (I admit I felt like giving up)
Your grace (Your grace and mercy found me)
Your love (Your love was all around)
(When the pressures of life weighed me down)
(I'm so glad) You stood (You stood for me)
You stood for me

"Stood For Me" by VaShawn Mitchell is a powerful song that resonates with believers who have experienced the faithfulness and strength of God in their lives. The song speaks of times when the pressures of life weighed heavily, and there were moments of doubt and feeling like giving up. However, in those moments, God's grace, mercy, and love surrounded and uplifted the singer.
The lyrics of the song remind us of the assurance we have in God's faithfulness. It echoes the truth found in Romans 8:31, which says, "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" This verse brings comfort and encouragement as we face challenges and difficulties. It reminds us that when God stands with us, no one can stand against us.
The song also emphasizes the strength and protection that come from having God on our side. The lyrics state, "When I'm weak, You are strong. You give me strength to carry on. You are perfect in all Your ways, God who reigns ancient of days. You did not let me fall." These words reflect the truth found in 2 Corinthians 12:9, where God says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." It is in our weaknesses that God's strength is revealed, and He upholds us, preventing us from falling.
Throughout the song, there is a declaration of God's victory and the defeat of the enemy. The lyrics proclaim, "If God is for me, who can stand against me? And if God is for me, who can stand against me?" This echoes the words of Psalm 118:6, which says, "The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" It reminds us that when we have God on our side, we have nothing to fear because He is greater than any opposition we may face.
The song also incorporates moments of praise and celebration. It encourages listeners to clap their hands, lift their voices, and rejoice in the truth that God is for them. This reflects the spirit of Psalm 47:1, which says, "Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy." It reminds us that praise is a powerful weapon, and when we exalt God in our lives, it brings joy and victory.
Overall, "Stood For Me" by VaShawn Mitchell is a song that inspires and encourages believers to trust in God's faithfulness and strength. It reminds us of the assurance we have in His presence and the victory we can experience when we stand with Him. Through its powerful lyrics and uplifting melody, this song serves as a reminder of God's unwavering love and support in our lives.
