Stand Back

  

   Does the end look near?
   Are your knees weak and your heart feeble?
   The night brings despair, no light for relief
   You bow down and the life drains,

   Stand back,
   look forward once again,
   the victory is just there, no need to weep,
   From beyond comes sure hope,
   revealed in the purest sweet,

   Stand back,
   taste victory again, proclaim life, refresh the view
   and stride its beauty within,
  
   Stand back,
   look forward once again,
   behold the gift, it yearns for you,
   death is not welcomed, it has no place
   here,

   For you it sustains and you breath in
   anew, proclaiming life, refreshing the view,

   Stand back,
   live in victory, for everything
   is new
