Stand strong

 "Hold on when everything is shaking. Stand strong when the ground is falling through."

Though at first glance this line might seem like we have to stand in our own strength. But as the song goes on we find out that it's only because God is there that we have the strength to go on. It's not my strength, but His. Because I have been saved; because I know that the Lord Jesus died for me and paid the price of my sin, and rose again; because I know that it's because of what Jesus did on the cross that I am now I child of God, that I keep going. When the nights seem so long and lonely, and I don't know if I can go another step, it is His love that I cling to. It is the love of God that causes me to smile even on my hardest days or darkest nights. Without Him, I am nothing.
