Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the shadows gather 'round me,
And the night seems long and cold,
I will lift my eyes to heaven,
In Your light, I will be bold.
Through the trials and the struggles,
I'll hold fast to what is true,
Every moment, every heartbeat,
I am anchored, Lord, in You.

[Chorus]
I will stand by faith in the flames,
Holding on to Jesus' Name.
People will see what a good work
He's done in me and believe,
Jesus saves, yes, Jesus saves.
Every heart that's lost in darkness,
Let them see the light of grace,
In the fire, I'm not forsaken,
I'm transformed by love's embrace
Jesus saves, yes, Jesus saves.

[Verse 2]
In the valley of the shadows,
When my strength begins to wane,
I will sing a song of courage,
Trusting in Your love's refrain.
Every tear that falls in silence,
You collect and make it whole,
With Your grace, I find my courage,
You restore my weary soul.

[Chorus]
I will stand by faith in the flames,
Holding on to Jesus' Name.
People will see what a good work
He's done in me and believe,
Jesus saves, yes, Jesus saves.
Every heart that's lost in darkness,
Let them see the light of grace,
In the fire, I'm not forsaken,
I'm transformed by love's embrace
Jesus saves, yes, Jesus saves.

[Bridge]
When the world tries to confine me,
I will rise above the fear.
With the truth of Your redemption,
I will shout, "My Savior's near!"
Jesus saves, yes, Jesus saves.

[instrumental]

[Chorus]
I will stand by faith in the flames,
Holding on to Jesus' Name.
People will see what a good work
He's done in me and believe,
Jesus saves, yes, Jesus saves.
Every heart that's lost in darkness,
Let them see the light of grace,
In the fire, I'm not forsaken,
I'm transformed by love's embrace
Jesus saves, yes, Jesus saves.
