"My Stand" - from the album "The Season Of Love"
(Michael Tolf)
This is a very special song to me, because it's the first "real song" that God gave me. I was 18 years old, and just sat down at the piano one day and started pouring my heart out. I quickly jotted down some key words/phrases, so I wouldn't forget them. A few weeks later, the song was complete. This was the start of my songwriting journey...and a key moment in my life, as I declared "My Stand" for God.
This song's for you Lord
This song is true
I've spent all my life searching for something real
This song's for you dear Lord - for guiding my way
I'm never far from your love - no never too far away...never too far away
Oh Lord I've come to make my stand
I'm asking You to come take my hand
I need your guidance throughout my days
Come to me - come to me
Lord, sometimes I find it hard to know just what to do
For with the pressures of life how can I keep my eyes on You
And oh there are times
When I feel I really don't care
If I can't please myself - how can I ever please You...how can I please You
But when I get discouraged that's when I lean on You
And when I feel I can't go on you pull me through
For your love is oh so strong - and it keeps leading me on
Back to You - back to You
Oh Lord I've come to make my stand
I'm asking You to come take my hand
I need Your guidance througout my days
Come to me - come to me
Come to me - come to me...
