STUBBORN PRAISE Words and Music by Peter Merz Standing here drenched in this storm of doubt Yeah defying question-marked clouds Lost in a maze of endless pouring rain Where all that I've known's getting torn And why was I never warned Never warned about this day Oh this storm just wants to break me Wants to break me to the core CHORUS Go ahead and try to keep my hands down I'm gonna raise them up in praise Not even the wind, not even the rain Is ever gonna keep me bound No matter how dark, no matter how grim I won't let my heart harden I won't stop lifting the name of Christ I'm gonna cling to Him in stubborn praise Facing the cruel winds of circumstance That try to beat me down A hard rain battering all my thoughts So desperate to snatch away The essence of my faith Raining down like cruel taunts Oh this storm wants to defeat me Defeat me and kill my hope CHORUS BRIDGE You can shake me but you won't break me I stand firm and redeemed My God will work it out in the end Making each loss a win for me You can shake me but you won't break me I stand firm and redeemed You can mock me all you want But my praise won't ever cease REPEAT CHORUS ©2017 Scribe And Sage Music (BMI).
