Be The One Still Standing

Be strong, My child.
Stand as long as you can;
The enemy's coming against you,
But you're in the palm of My hand.

Look at all the trees.
Many storms, they've been through;
Notice, they're all still standing -
That's what I want you to do.

There have been other trees
That were young, and not mature;
Life knocked them down
From storms they couldn't endure.

Those who are weak to the enemy
Need more time to grow;
They're not grounded in My Word,
And My Son - they don't know.

You're holding on to My promises,
But may I ask...how long?
Will you give up, and fall
Or be the one still standing strong?
