There She Stands Lyrics By Michael W. Smith
When the night seems to say
All hope is lost, gone away
But I know I'm not alone
By the light she stands
There she waves, faithful friend
Shimmering stars, westward wind
Show the way, Carry me
To the place she stands
Just when you think it might be over
Just when you think the fight is gone
Someone will risk his life to raise her
There she stands
There she flies, clear blue skies
Reminds us with red of those that died
Washed in white by the brave
In their strength, she stands
When evil calls itself a martyr
When all your hopes come crashing down
Someone will pull her from the rubble
There she stands
We've seen her flying torn and tattered
We've seen her stand the test of time
And through it all the fools have fallen
There she stands
By the dawn's, early light
And through the fight. She stands
