Let’s talk about the part of faith nobody really prepares you for.

You know… the part that doesn’t get a welcome party.

Not the beginning.

That part gets all the attention.

New commitment. Fresh start. Everything feels clear, exciting, and full of momentum. You’re motivated, you’re focused, and you’re ready to go.

And not the breakthrough.

Because everybody loves that part.

That’s the testimony moment. That’s the “God showed up and everything worked out” part. That’s what gets shared, celebrated, and posted.

I’m talking about the middle.

The forgotten part. The overlooked part. The middle child of your faith journey.

No spotlight. No applause. No one checking in to see how your quiet obedience is going.

Just you…

and the part where it gets harder than you expected, takes longer than you planned, and quitting starts to sound surprisingly reasonable.

That’s where most people walk away.

Not because they couldn’t keep going.

Because they didn’t realize what that moment actually was.

This week, we’ve been breaking that down from every angle.

And today?

We’re putting it all together.

Lyrics:

[Intro ]

Yeah…

This the part they don’t talk about

The middle

Where quitting sounds reasonable

Not today

---

[Verse 1]

Pressure hit, now the vibe done changed

What felt clear don’t feel the same

Got weight on my chest, got noise in my head

Got ten good reasons to walk instead

But I know that voice, yeah I heard that lie

“Step back now, you can try next time”

Nah, I see that play, I know that scheme

You don’t want me here, you want me to leave

---

[Pre-Chorus – rising intensity]

But I’m still here, still in place

Didn’t come this far just to lose my space

You can press all day, I don’t break that way

I already chose, I’ma stand and stay

---

[Chorus – with gospel choir backing]

I stand anyway (stand anyway)

When it don’t feel right, I don’t walk away

Through the doubt, through the weight, through the pressure I face

I stand anyway (stand anyway)

I stand anyway (stand anyway)

Not by my might, but His strength in me

Held in His will, yeah that’s where I stay

I stand anyway

---

[Verse 2]

Middle of the fight, yeah this where it’s real

Not hype no more, now it’s how I feel

Got delay, got doubt, got time stretched thin

Got questions creeping back in again

But I’m not moved by what I see

Truth don’t change just ‘cause it’s me

Weak in the moment, strong in Him

This ain’t the end, this where I dig in

---

[Pre-Chorus]

Feet on the ground, shield up high

Faith don’t fold when the pressure rise

I don’t need signs, I don’t need proof

I know what He said, and I’m staying true

---

[Chorus – choir stronger]

I stand anyway (stand anyway)

When it don’t feel right, I don’t walk away

Through the doubt, through the weight, through the pressure I face

I stand anyway (stand anyway)

I stand anyway (stand anyway)

Not by my might, but His strength in me

Held in His will, yeah that’s where I stay

I stand anyway

---

[Bridge – slower, heavy]

This that stay-in-place faith

This that don’t-you-move grace

This that middle-of-the-war

Still-standing-in-Him place

Enemy thought I’d break

Thought I’d step back, fade

But I’m rooted too deep

I ain’t leaving this place

---

[Verse 3 – final push]

So bring that pressure, bring that heat

Still ten toes, I don’t retreat

This ground ain’t mine, this where He put me

You gotta go through Him to move me

And that ain’t happening, let’s be clear

I’m not alone, He got me here

So every lie can disappear

I’m still standing, still right here

---

[Final Chorus – full choir lift]

I stand anyway (stand anyway)

When it don’t feel right, I don’t walk away

Through the doubt, through the weight, through the pressure I face

I stand anyway (stand anyway)

I stand anyway (stand anyway)

Not by my might, but His strength in me

Held in His will, yeah that’s where I stay

I stand anyway

---

[Outro – spoken, calm authority]

Middle of the fight…

Still standing.

That’s the win.

There’s a moment most of us don’t think about…

but we live in it every day.

The moment between:

knowing what to do…

and actually doing it.

This week, we talked about what happens after the resurrection.

Not just what Jesus did—

but what He asked us to do next.

Because He didn’t just rise.

He sent.

And that’s where things get real.

Not in the big, obvious moments.

But in the small ones.

The quiet ones.

The ones where you feel that nudge…

and then hesitate.

This episode is about that moment.

What’s actually happening in your thinking…

why we pause…

and how to move forward anyway.

Not perfectly.

But faithfully.

Press play—and let’s walk this out together.

Lyrics

Title: He Stayed… So I Go

[Verse 1]He saw the cross before the hillFelt every wound, yet chose the willThe weight of sin, the coming painStill walked it out, still bore my name

He heard the lies, the mocking cryKnew every tear He’d justifyAnd love held fast, would not let goHe stayed for me… He chose to go

[Chorus]He stayed… so I goThrough the fear, I still move forwardHe called… I knowI don’t walk this out alone

He stayed… for meThrough the cross, through everythingNow I move… I obeyHe stayed… so I go

[Verse 2]He could have called the heavens downRefused the nails, escaped the crownBut mercy stood where I should beAnd grace rewrote my history

“It is finished,” heaven criedWhen death was crushed and darkness diedThe veil was torn, the way made clearAnd now His voice still calls me near

[Chorus]He stayed… so I goThrough the fear, I still move forwardHe called… I knowI don’t walk this out alone

He stayed… for meThrough the cross, through everythingNow I move… I obeyHe stayed… so I go

[Verse 3]He walked out of the borrowed graveTurned fear into the faith that savesAnd spoke with calm authority“Now go and tell what you’ve seen in Me”

And I will send My Spirit nearTo guide your steps, to meet you thereYou won’t walk out this call aloneMy presence goes, My power shown

[Bridge]He knew my doubt, He knew my fearStill called me out, still drew me nearNot surprised by what I’d beStill chose to walk this out with me

And when I fall, He won’t departHe holds the end, He knows the startThrough every step, through every scarHe finishes what He begins in us

[Verse 4]And when I stand before His faceNot by my strength, but by His graceIf I endure, if I remainThrough every trial, through every strain

I’ll see the scars that bought my lifeThe love that held Him through the nightAnd hear Him say, with open arms“Well done… you trusted through it all.”

[Final Chorus – Bigger]He stayed… so I goThrough the fear, I still move forwardHe called… I knowI don’t walk this out alone

He stayed… for meThrough the cross, through everythingNow I move… I obeyHe stayed… so I go

We love saying:

“It is finished.”

What we don’t love?

Living like it is.

Because apparently…

Jesus finished the work…

and we decided to reopen the project.

Still trying to fix ourselves.Still trying to earn something.Still acting like the outcome is undecided.

That’s not faith.

That’s confusion.

Let’s talk about it.

Lyrics:

“Live Like It’s Finished”

[Intro — soft, spoken over music]

It didn’t look like victory…

But it was.

[Verse 1]

We heard the words, we know the line“It is finished” every timeBut still we wake and still we striveLike something’s left to bring to life

We carry weight we shouldn’t holdTry to earn what we’ve been toldWas settled there on CalvaryBut we don’t live like we are free

[Pre-Chorus]

What if it’s true…Nothing’s undone?

[Chorus]

Then I will live like it’s finishedStand like the battle is wonThink from the truth You establishedNot from the lies that I’ve known

No more striving to prove itNo more fear in the fightYou said it once—and You meant itSo I will stand in Your life

[Verse 2]

When pressure hits and doubts come inAnd old thoughts start their noise againI won’t go back to who I wasI stand in who You say I am

Not based on what I feel todayNot on the moves I’ve made or madeBut on the work that You declaredComplete before I even cared

[Pre-Chorus]

What You have said…Still stands as done

[Chorus]

So I will live like it’s finishedStand like the battle is wonThink from the truth You establishedNot from the lies that I’ve known

No more striving to prove itNo more fear in the fightYou said it once—and You meant itSo I will stand in Your life

[Bridge — build authority]

Truth is my anchor, I won’t drift awayRighteousness guards me, I’m steady in placeI’m not rebuilding what You made completeI’m standing firm in the finished decree

No more confusion, no more retreatVictory’s mine ‘cause You claimed it for meI’m not behind, I’m not undoneI stand right here where the work was won

It didn’t look like victory…

[Final Chorus — bigger, stronger]

But I will live like it’s finishedStand like the battle is wonDeath couldn’t hold what You startedThe grave couldn’t silence the Son

Now the stone has been rolled backNow the light floods the dayWhat was sealed in the silenceNow is risen in power and praise

[Outro — Call & Response]

He is risen!

[Background / Crowd Response]He is risen, indeed!

[Repeat — stronger]

He is risen!

[Response]He is risen, indeed!

There are moments in Scripture that are hard to read.

Not because they’re confusing…

but because they’re heavy.

Gethsemane is one of those moments.

Especially this time of year—right after Good Friday and just before Resurrection Sunday—when the reality of what Jesus endured isn’t abstract anymore.

It’s personal.

It’s weighty.

And if you sit with it for even a few minutes, you start to realize something most of us don’t think about enough:

Before the cross… there was a decision.

Jesus knew exactly what was coming.

The suffering.The humiliation.The cost of carrying sin.

And in that moment, He didn’t pretend it was easy.

He didn’t rush past it.

He said:

“If there is another way…”

That’s not weakness.

That’s honesty under pressure.

And then—

He chose surrender anyway.

“Not My will… but Yours be done.”

This week’s episode of Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud steps into that moment.

Because most of us have been taught to expect peace before we obey.

But Gethsemane shows us something different.

Sometimes the pressure comes first.

And the peace follows the decision.

If you’ve ever wrestled with doing what you know is right…

If you’ve ever felt the weight of obedience…

If you’ve ever waited to feel ready before taking the next step—

this episode is for you.

Press play.

Let’s step into the garden together.

Lyrics

[Intro – low piano, heartbeat rhythm]

In the garden, in the silenceWhere the weight began to fallEvery breath was filled with knowingHe would have to give it all

[Verse 1]

There was sorrow in the stillnessThere was anguish in the nightSweat like blood beneath the burdenOf the coming sacrifice

Every step was drawing closerTo a cost no one could seeYet He stood there in the tensionChoosing truth over relief

[Pre-Chorus]

If this cup could pass awayStill He chose to stayNot a moment turning backNot a step astray

[Chorus]

Hold the lineStand in truthWhen the pressure’s closing in on you

Hold the lineDon’t give groundEven when the weight is pulling down

He has walked this road beforeHe has borne the greater war

Hold the lineStand firm nowYou are held—don’t break, don’t bow

[Verse 2]

You will feel it in your spiritThat resistance in your chestWhere obedience feels heavyAnd surrender feels like death

You’ll be tempted to go sidewaysFind a softer way throughBut the truth is still before youClear and steady—calling you

[Pre-Chorus]

Not the easy path you seeBut the one that leadsThrough the fire, through the costTo eternity

[Chorus]

Hold the lineStand in truthWhen the pressure’s closing in on you

Hold the lineDon’t give groundEven when the weight is pulling down

He has walked this road beforeHe has borne the greater war

Hold the lineStand firm nowYou are held—don’t break, don’t bow

[Verse 3]

What you carry in this momentFeels like more than you can standBut you’re not beneath the full weightThat was placed upon His hands

Every sin and every sorrowEvery debt you could not payHe has already stood beneath itSo you don’t have to break

[Bridge – build strong]

Lift your eyesFix your gazeOn the One who made a way

Through the nightThrough the strainThrough the blood and through the pain

Truth remainsIt won’t bendStand your ground until the end

[Final Chorus – full power]

Hold the lineStand in truthWhen the pressure’s closing in on you

Hold the lineDon’t give groundEven when the weight is pulling down

He has walked this road beforeHe has won the final war

Hold the lineStand firm nowYou are His—don’t break, don’t bow

[Outro – resolve]

Stand.

Stay.

Trust.

Hold the line.

There are certain moments in Scripture that make you stop and reread the passage because it feels… unusual.

Numbers 21 is definitely one of those moments.

Israel complains about the food God has been providing.Venomous serpents appear in the camp.And the cure God provides sounds almost strange at first.

A bronze serpent on a pole.

Look at it… and live.

It’s the kind of moment where modern readers tend to pause and say, “Wait… what?”

But then Jesus does something remarkable.

In John 3, while speaking to Nicodemus, He points directly back to that moment and says it was pointing to Him all along.

Suddenly the story isn’t just about snakes in the desert anymore.

It’s about the cure for humanity’s deepest problem being lifted high for the world to see.

So today we’re going to explore that connection — what it meant in the wilderness, what it means at the cross, and why the instruction that still echoes through Scripture is surprisingly simple.

Lift your eyes.

Lyrics

[Intro]When the desert wind is risingAnd the camp is filled with fearWhen the shadows whisper loudlyThat the end is drawing near

There’s a voice that cuts the chaosThrough the storm and through the sandNot a shout of desperationBut a quiet firm command

[Verse 1]They were weary from the journeyEvery step felt twice as longManna falling from the heavensStill they said that God was wrong

Then the serpents came like lightningThrough the tents of restless criesBut the cure was lifted higherAnd the call was clear

Lift your eyes

[Chorus]Lift your eyes and standTrust the Father’s handWhen the night surrounds the landLift your eyes and stand

The battle may be ragingBut the victory is plannedSo when the fear comes crashing inLift your eyes and stand

[Verse 2]In a garden under moonlightWhere the olive branches swayThe Son knelt down in silenceKnowing what the dawn would say

Not my will but Yours foreverThough the cross was close at handAnd surrender lit the pathwayTo the promise God had planned

[Chorus]Lift your eyes and standTrust the Father’s handWhen the night surrounds the landLift your eyes and stand

The battle may be ragingBut the victory is plannedSo when the fear comes crashing inLift your eyes and stand

[Verse 3]Now the world is full of serpentsFull of voices full of liesTrying hard to keep believersLooking down instead of wise

But the cross still stands above usLike a banner in the skyAnd the cure for every broken heartWas lifted up on high

[Bridge]Lay your weapons down tonightLet the King step in and fightGrace is stronger than the graveChrist alone has power to save

Storms may roar and kingdoms fallStill His mercy conquers all

[Final Chorus]Lift your eyes and standTrust the Father’s handThrough the fire across the landLift your eyes and stand

The cross above the battlefieldIs where the war was plannedSo when the darkness closes inLift your eyes and stand

[Outro]Lift your eyesLift your eyes

The cure has already risenThe victory already won

Stand.

Some battles don’t show up with flashing warning lights.

They show up quietly.

A whisper of doubt.A moment of pressure.A question about whether you really belong where God placed you.

Scripture has a word for those moments: peirasmos.

It’s the moment where testing and temptation collide.

The same situation can strengthen faith… or try to derail it.

And if you’ve ever wondered why wilderness seasons feel so intense, this episode explores exactly what’s happening there — why identity becomes the enemy’s favorite target, why Jesus answered temptation with Scripture, and how the Armor of God actually equips believers to stand firm when pressure rises.

Because the wilderness doesn’t determine who you are.

It reveals whether you believe what God already said.

So armor up.

Let’s step onto the battlefield together.

Lyrics:

Stand and Remember

Intro (spoken tone if desired)

The wilderness may test the heart…but it cannot rewrite what heaven already said.

Verse 1

The desert wind is risingQuestions fill the airShadows start whispering“Does God still care?”

But truth was spoken clearlyLong before the fightHeaven named my identityIn the Father’s light

Chorus

I will stand and rememberWho You say I amTruth becomes my armorAnd Your Word my standWhen the storm is pressingAnd the lies confessI will stand in the armorI will stand in the test

Verse 2

The tempter tries to twist it“Prove that you belong”But sons and daughters of the KingDon’t have to prove Him wrong

The helmet guards the promiseFaith lifts up the shieldAnd every word You’ve spokenBecomes the sword I wield

Chorus

I will stand and rememberWho You say I amTruth becomes my armorAnd Your Word my standWhen the storm is pressingAnd the lies confessI will stand in the armorI will stand in the test

Verse 3

The wilderness may questionBut heaven speaks againIdentity unshakenBeyond the reach of men

No desert can eraseWhat mercy has addressedThe children of the kingdomAre the ones who stand the test

Bridge

Truth around meFaith before meRighteousness upon my chest

Peace beneath meWord within meArmor strong within the test

Final Chorus

I will stand and rememberWho You say I amTruth becomes my armorAnd Your Word my standThrough the fire, through the desertThrough the storm’s unrestI will stand in the armorI will stand in the test

Outro

The wilderness may question…But heaven has already answered.

Battle Cry

Stand firm.

Not in your circumstances.

Not in your emotions.

Stand in the truth God has already spoken.

When the wilderness questions your identity…

remember what heaven declared.

You are His.

When temptation whispers shortcuts…

remember the Word that guides your steps.

Truth is still stronger than lies.

So armor up.

Hold the line.

And remember:

The enemy hates it when believers know what they’re doing.

This week we’ve been looking in the mirror.

Not casually. Carefully.

James warned us not to glance at the Word and walk away unchanged.Paul told us to examine ourselves.The Bereans modeled eagerness with scrutiny.

But somewhere along the way, many of us began confusing conviction with rejection.

And when correction feels like cancellation, identity starts to wobble.

In this episode of Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud, we untangle confidence from alignment, conviction from condemnation, and fear from formation. We revisit the breastplate of righteousness — not as moral performance, but as security worn, not earned.

If examination has ever felt threatening…If church hurt has complicated correction…If you’ve mistaken refinement for failure…

This conversation is for you.

Armor on. Let’s think faithfully — out loud.

Lyrics:

Still Standing in His Righteousness

Intro

When the mirror speaksAnd the fire revealsWhen the truth cuts closeAnd the heart must yieldI will not runI will not hideI am covered stillIn Christ crucified

Verse 1

The Word exposed the fractureI didn’t see beforeA hidden thread of prideBehind a guarded doorBut mercy met the momentIt didn’t turn awayThe light that showed the weaknessAlso showed the way

Pre-Chorus

Correction is not exileDiscipline’s not defeatThe One who calls me forwardIs steady at my feet

Chorus

I am still standing in His righteousnessNot shaken by the flameStill anchored in His finished workStill covered in His nameThe mirror may reveal my needBut grace remains my groundI am still standing in His righteousnessWhere mercy wraps me round

Verse 2

Accusing voices whispered“You’ve finally been exposed”But truth stood firm beside meAnd shut the courtroom doorsThere is no condemnationFor hearts that bear His sealConviction leads to freedomCondemnation steals

Pre-Chorus

I will not wear the verdictThat heaven never gaveThe cross has signed my pardonThe empty tomb still saves

Chorus

I am still standing in His righteousnessNot shaken by the flameStill anchored in His finished workStill covered in His nameThe fire burns what isn’t trueBut cannot take my placeI am still standing in His righteousnessHeld steady by His grace

Verse 3

Testing is not targetingRefining isn’t rageThe Potter shapes with purposeHe doesn’t disengageThe bruised reed isn’t brokenThe fainting wick still glowsHe strengthens what is fragileAnd patiently He molds

Pre-Chorus

If weakness rises to the topIt never was my coreThe One who started this in meWill finish what He formed

Chorus

I am still standing in His righteousnessNot shaken by the flameStill anchored in His finished workStill covered in His nameAlignment grows in honestyNot in applause or noiseI am still standing in His righteousnessSecure in sovereign joy

Bridge

Not condemnedNot undoneStill His daughterStill His sonTested, yesBut still secureWhat He beganHe will mature

ExposedBut not erasedCorrectedStill embracedRefinedBut not replacedHeld forever in His grace

Final Chorus

I am still standing in His righteousnessThough fires rise and fallThe mirror never cancels meThe cross has paid it allIdentity is anchored nowIn what He’s done, not meI am still standing in His righteousnessAnd I will always be

Outro

Still standing…Still covered…Still called…Still loved…

In the lightIn the flameIn correctionIn His name

Still standing.

Welcome back to Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud.

It has been a minute.

Life has required a pause — some significant transitions, some unexpected circumstances, and a few technical hiccups along the way.

We’re still working through a couple of those technical pieces, so if this episode sounds a little simpler than usual, that’s why.

But we’re here.

And I hope to be fully back on track in the near future.

In the meantime, we’re not waiting for perfect conditions to talk about what matters.

This Lenten season, we’re focusing on identity.

Because before the wilderness… there was a declaration.

Before the battle… there was belonging.

If you’ve been living like you’re on spiritual probation, this episode is for you.

Let’s settle identity — and stand accordingly.

This week’s anthem was born out of one simple but destabilizing realization:

A lot of believers are exhausted.

Not from following Jesus.

From trying to prove themselves to Him.

Romans 8 doesn’t describe probation.It describes adoption.

And adoption is not emotional.It’s legal.

Before the wilderness.Before the miracles.Before the ministry.

The Father declared identity.

So this song is a line in the sand.

No more audition theology.No more spiritual scorekeeping.No more shrinking back when you stumble.

You are placed.

Not proving.

Turn it up. Stand steady.

Lyrics:

Placed, Not Proving

Verse 1Before the wilderness wind could riseBefore the desert tested my eyesA voice broke open heaven’s sky“You are Mine” — not “Try.”

No résumé in trembling handsNo earning love through shifting sandsThe verdict fell before I ranBeloved — that’s where I stand

ChorusI’m placed, not provingAdopted, not auditioningSeated in the finished workNo scrambling for positionWhen the pressure starts movingAnd the lies come accusingI stand in what was spoken firstI’m placed, not proving

Verse 2The law once whispered, “Do it right”Fear kept watch through every nightBut grace stepped in and sealed my nameNot fragile. Not a game.

No longer slave to score and scaleNo spiritual performance taleThe cross declared what will not failMy sonship will prevail

Verse 3 (Legal Standing for All)He said “sons” — a legal claimFull inheritance, equal nameIn Christ the daughters stand as heirsNo borrowed ground, no thinner shares

Not second-class, not standing byAdopted fully, justifiedThe Father’s house has open doorsHis promise lands on daughters’ shores

Verse 4When I fall short, I don’t withdrawI run toward the Father’s doorConviction calls me back to lightCondemnation slams it tight

The enemy can shout my flawsBut heaven’s court has closed the causeRighteousness is not applauseIt’s Christ — and that’s my clause

BridgeNot on trialNot on holdNot rewriting what was toldIt is finishedIt is doneI don’t fight to be a son

Final Chorus (Lifted)I’m placed, not provingAnchored in the covenantNo probation in this graceNo fear-based governmentWhen the desert keeps movingAnd the dark comes intrudingI stand in what was spoken firstI’m placed, not proving

Christmas is over.

The music fades.The decorations come down.The calendar flips — and the world moves on.

But the mission didn’t end.

In fact, this is where it actually began.

Christmas wasn’t the finale.It was the breach — the moment God stepped into history in flesh and launched a rescue mission the enemy couldn’t stop.

Today, we’re talking about what Christmas set in motion…why fatigue doesn’t mean failure…and how hesed — God’s steadfast, covenant love — carries us forward when the adrenaline fades and real life resumes.

This is Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud.Let’s step into the aftermath — steady, grounded, and not alone.

Lyrics

🎵 ANTHEM — “He Stayed”

Verse 1

The lights are dim, the songs are done,The crowded room has thinned,The world keeps spinning like nothing changed,But something settled in.No trumpet blast, no victory parade,Just truth that took its place,You didn’t come to stir the crowd,You came to stay.

Chorus

You stayed when the noise fell silent,You stayed when the thrill wore thin,Not just a moment, not just a season,But right here — deep within.The rescue came, the line was crossed,The war was clearly swayed,Hope still stands, the truth still holds,Because You stayed.

Verse 2

You came in flesh, no borrowed crown,No borrowed time or throne,You walked our dirt, You wore our weight,You made this world Your home.The enemy moved, the ground shook hard,The darkness felt the change,Love didn’t flinch or pull away —It stayed.

Chorus

You stayed when the noise fell silent,You stayed when the thrill wore thin,Not just a moment, not just a season,But right here — deep within.The rescue came, the line was crossed,The war was clearly swayed,Hope still stands, the truth still holds,Because You stayed.

Verse 3

Now here we are in quieter days,With weary hearts and feet,No angel songs, no blazing skies,Just faith in steady beats.And this is where the roots grow deep,Where trust is slowly made,Not in the rush — but in the walk,Because You stayed.

Bridge

Not a passing touch, not a distant love,Not a spark that fades away,Covenant strong, forever near,Hesed on display.You didn’t come to make us feel,You came to make us whole,The mission’s sure, the ground is held,You won’t let go.

Verse 4

So we will stand, not rushing on,Not trying to prove a thing,Armor worn, not weighed by fear,Resting where You lead.The story’s moving forward still,Though quietly conveyed,The ending’s sure, the path is lit,Because You stayed.

Final Chorus

You stayed when the noise fell silent,You stayed when the thrill wore thin,Not just a moment, not just a season,But right here — deep within.The rescue came, the line was crossed,The war was clearly swayed,Hope still stands, the truth still holds,Because You stayed.

Outro

Christmas wasn’t the end —It was the door You made.And we walk it out, step by step,Because You stayed.
