Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
I Know Where I Stand
[Verse 1]
Seen the world
It's crumbling all around me
A place to go
Where I felt safe
In search of help
I fell down on my knees
I prayed, oh Lord
Please lead my way

[Pre-Chorus]
Doors open I've never known
When I ask in faith
He'll show me which way to go

[Chorus]
When the road gets rough
I've got to stand
Or else I'll fall
In God's creation
I know where I stand

[Verse 2]
Temptation sings
Its songs are loud and clear
But I won't let my feet stray from this path
Not even for a moment
I know, I know, I know my mission
Is to walk as light as I can
To keep looking up
When I'm feeling down
Keep my feet on the ground
Take it step by step and
[Pre-Chorus]
He'll show me which way to go, oh
Money, money can't buy His wisdom
Nor sliver or gold

[Chorus]
When the road gets rough
I've got to stand
Or else I'll fall
In God's creation
I know where I stand

[Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
He'll show me which way to go, oh
Money can't buy His wisdom
Nor sliver or gold

[Chorus]
When the road gets rough
I've got to stand
Or else I'll fall
In God's creation
I know, I know where my salvation lies
I know, I know, I know
In God's creation
I know, I know, I know, I know
There are some things
That I may not know, yeah
Sometimes the hills are hard, are hard to climb, yeah
But I know, I know, I know
Someone who has the plan
I know it
When the road gets rough
I've got to stand for myself
In God's creation
I know where I stand
