Stay Strong
Chorus
You gotta stay strong. (yah yah)
You gotta keep pressing on. (yah yah)
Keep your faith,
And always pray
You gotta stay strong. (yah yah)
You gotta keep pressing on. (yah yah)
Keep your faith,
And always pray
Sometimes, life just isn’t fair.
Feeling overwhelmed, feeling in despair,
Feeling beat down, feeling injustice,
Feeling the pressure, hoping things will get better.
But Jesus says pray always hold to the light.
Not a physical fight but always do what’s right
And stand for the cause; wait until the victory,
But God never promised that it would be easy.
Chorus
You gotta stay strong. (yah yah)
You gotta keep pressing on. (yah yah)
Keep your faith,
And always pray
You gotta stay strong. (yah yah)
You gotta keep pressing on. (yah yah)
Keep your faith,
And always pray
This reminds me of the story of Luke 18
Of the unjust judge, who didn’t care about anything.
But the widow just kept on coming,
Saying, “judge, grant me justice.”
Even though the judge didn’t care about God or anyone,
He said “I’ll grant her justice or she will continue to come.”
So what if we pray to God every day and night,
Will not the Lord make all things right?
Chorus
You gotta stay strong. (yah yah)
You gotta keep pressing on. (yah yah)
Keep your faith,
And always pray
You gotta stay strong. (yah yah)
You gotta keep pressing on. (yah yah)
Keep your faith,
And always pray
