Still Standing, Still Free

I've heard the lies, I've seen the show The promises, the highs, the lows I've given love a thousand tries And lost myself a hundred times But grace kept knocking on my door Said, "You were made for something more" I thought I needed someone's love But all I needed was enough. I'm still standing, I'm still whole Even when I walk this road alone Took the long way, through the pain But I found mercy in the rain I am loved, I am free And I am who I'm meant to be Still standing, still strong By His grace, I carry on I've chased affection, begged to stay Held my breath and gave my name I let my worth be redefined By hands that never held me right But love's not something you must earn No fire needed just to burn The real thing heals, it never fades And I have found that in His name I'm still standing, I'm still whole Even when I walk this road alone Took the long way, through the pain But I found mercy in the rain I am loved, I am free And I am who I'm meant to be Still standing, still strong By His grace, I carry on If I lose the dream, I won't lose my name If I walk alone, I'll still stand the same If I never hear the words I prayed for I will still be enough in my Savior I'm still standing, I'm still whole Even when I walk this road alone Took the long way, through the pain But I found mercy in the rain I am loved, I am free And I am who I'm meant to be Still standing, still strong By His grace, I carry on Still standing, still free... And finally—I'm me.
