Standing Fast

I stand fast in Your loyal love,
even as my flesh tries to deceive me,
I turn my thoughts to You and You alone.

What can harm me, really harm my position.
Not this temporal life in this evil flesh,
if I fall into temptation, and succumb to your best.

Grace is greater, Love is greater, You are greater.
I rest in You, as the world whizzes by,
as the evil one throws a tempting prize.

It's not in them my heart longs after,
it's not in them my panting waits,
its not in them where my eternity awaits.

O' no, fallen world you have not won.
the battle has been fought, the Son has won.
It's You O' Lord where I rest, it's You my Lord
where I stand fast.

Richard.
