In the shadows they try to hide
But I know who's by my side
In the silence He holds my hand
For Him I will always stand

When the world turns black and cold
Faith is worth more than gold
I won't bend I won't break
No matter what is at stake

Stand tall for Jesus now
Though the world don't know how
When He lights your path 
And his love is all you have
Stand Tall, oh Stand Tall
When you’re up against the wall
And the bullets fly and they fall
Stand Tall, oh, 
Stand Tall for Jesus now

When the voices shout and sneer
I find my strength in prayer
Each step through the darkest night
His love is my guiding light

When I'm out there all alone
I know I am never on my own
With His truth as my defense
Stand for Him no matter the consequence

Stand tall for Jesus now
Though the world don't know how
When He lights your path 
And his love is all you have
Stand Tall, oh Stand Tall
When you’re up against the wall
And the bullets fly and they fall
Stand Tall, oh, 
Stand Tall for Jesus now

Stand Tall

There's a battle being fought 
You may not see the fight
you may not see its effects
But its evil against right
It's death verses life 

This unseen battle gives me no rest 
My armor scarred lays across my chest
My blood stains me it runs the way down
But evil won't force my soul to the ground

I am a warrior, fight 
I am a warrior, might
I am a warrior, fight
I am a warrior, I'm right

The evil whispers, they are lies in my ear
my faith cuts through the lies with no fear
I hear his words so I follow and copy
He renews my mind, strength to my body

I am a warrior, fight 
I am a warrior, might
I am a warrior, fight
I am a warrior, I'm right

Chains may bind bruises under skin
But his fire within keeps his spirit burning
I won't back down, I follow God's son
These Scars testify to the battles he's won
Yeah, he has won!

I am a warrior, fight 
I am a warrior, might
Warrior (yeah warrior)
Nothing will stop my faith 
There's no evil I won't trace
I will stand and lift my sword!
My bloody face, a solemn reward
I am a warrior!  And I am yours!

Look at my bloody face,
There's no greater red than your grace,
Look at my bloody jaw,
I am still standing strong in your law,
Look at my bloody chest,
I watch evil minions, flee in fear distressed,
Look at my bloody legs,
I will continue to fight them for your name,
I am a warrior! There's nothing more!
I live for war, I am a warrior!

I am a warrior, fight 
I am a warrior, might
I am a warrior, fight
I am a warrior, I'm right

put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Chains may bind bruises under skin
But his fire within keeps his spirit burning

I am a warrior, fight 
I am a warrior, might
I am a warrior, fight
I am a warrior, I'm right

Dark clouds rollin' my way again
Feels like the world is caving in
I'm sinking deep into this grey
But I know you have my way

I'm lost in shadows but you guide
 through winds of doubt they subside 
Yet through the storm you whisper clear
Telling me  hope is drawing near

When the night is dark and long
Faith is my liberation song
 the night is a cold place
 hold me in a warm embrace
I  stumble and then I call
a thousand ways I always fall
 when I’m at my end
I know you're there through it all

Each cry of fear just fades away
Cuz’ you hear every word I say
In this chasm I'm held so firm
I’m rescued when you speak the words

Fear and pain they can't own me
cuz'  in your grace I have the keys
to break in pieces every shackle
My soul shines through every battle

When the night is dark and long
Faith is my liberation song
 the night is a cold place
 hold me in a warm embrace
I  stumble and then I call
a thousand ways I always fall
 when I’m at my end
I know you're there through it all

Yeah through it all
Oh, through it all
Always, through it all

Breaking The Chain

Through It All

Through it All

Walking down the street
Feelin' so free
(oo-yeah!)
No more heartache
No more misery
You were trouble
Baby
Just a hurricane
Now I'm dancing solo
I ain't feeling no pain

I don't miss anyone
I don't miss the drama
It wasn't fun, I wanted to run
I don't miss the mess
Your clothes thrown across the bed,
lay around like your dead,
I don't miss anyone
Especially you
Yeah
I don't miss you

Waking up alone
The best kind of morning (oo-yeah!)
No more fussing
No more warning
You were chaos
Baby
Bad for my soul
Now I'm living better in complete control

I don't miss anyone
I don't miss the drama
It wasn't fun, I wanted to run
I don't miss the mess
Your clothes thrown across the bed,
lay around like your dead,
I don't miss anyone
Especially you
Yeah
I don't miss you

Breaking free
I'm now my own (oo-yeah!)
Got the groove back
With a lighter tone
You can keep your mess
Your stormy days
I'm on a sunshine trip
In so many ways

I don't miss anyone
I don't miss the drama
It wasn't fun, I wanted to run
I don't miss the mess
Your clothes thrown across the bed,
lay around like your dead,
I don't miss anyone
Especially you
Yeah
I don't miss you

I Don't Miss Anyone

When I met you I just crumbled
Lost my grip on the things I knew
I Couldn't breathe without it failing
not having you turned me blue

baby,  my world stopped it's turning
Lost my place in what I knew
Watched my life go up in burning
but not the kind that warms the room

When I met you
(you turned me sideways)
When I met you
(you set my life ablaze)
When I met you
(there's no doubt)
baby, you're everything
right when I met you

baby it was so very different then
everything I said wasn't spoken
Didn't know which way was open
When I met you, yeah  I was  broken

When I met you
(you turned me sideways)
When I met you
(you set my life ablaze)
When I met you
(I can never be without)
When I met you
(there's no doubt)
baby, you're everything
right when I met you
oh everything got real
when I met you
oh baby this is the deal
when I met you
yeah, it was all right
when I met you

When I met You

"Knock"

I hit the ground, my face in the dirt,
There's Blood on my knuckles, everything  hurts.
I hear you scream, “Stay down, don’t move,”
But I’ve got fire with something to prove.
My Scars tell my story, each one a vow,
I’m built for the battle, I’m standing now.

You can knock me down but I’ll be back up,
You can knock me out but I’ll get up tough.
God forged in the fire, I’m made of the flame,
You can break my bones, but never break my name.
You can knock me down, but you can't knock me out

This crowd’s gone quiet, the lights burn low,
Every step’s heavy, but I still can go.
With my Fists clenched tight, I’m still alive,
With a rebel heart, I’m born to survive.
Each fall’s a lesson, each wound’s a spark,
I rise from ashes, and I glow in the dark.

You can knock me down but I’ll be back up,
You can knock me out but I’ll get up tough.
God forged in the fire, I’m made of the flame,
You can break my bones, but never break my name.
You can knock me down, but you can't knock me out

Let the ground shake, let the thunder roar,
I’ll stand rougher than I did before.
Every hit’s a chance to redefine,
This heart of iron is the armor of mine.
I’m not just surviving, I’m here to win,
Knock me down, I’ll rise again!

You can knock me down but I’ll be back up,
You can knock me out but I’ll get up tough.
God forged in the fire, I’m made of the flame,
You can break my bones, but never break my name.
You can knock me down, but you can't knock me out

Dust on my boots, dirt on my hands,
I’ll keep on fighting where I stand.
You can knock me down, but I’ll rise, I’ll rise,
With fire in my heart and stars in my eyes.
You can knock me down, but you can't knock me out

Knock

All I have is done
It shakes my core
I can't ignore

I bend to my knees and pray
So much pain, take it away
I’m broken into sections
my mind, body is no reflection
Frustration and so powerless
But I stand in your greatness
and you're love is so spacious

In the quiet
I stop and listen
But I break down
Everyday I break down

I’m lost, I run
I’m scared, I run
so anxious, I can't take this, I run
oh I run
I’m a target
For everyone’s bow
quivers fly into me
From high and low
And all I can do
Is run to you, I run to you

The morning light is peace
After you’ve comforted me
You hold my heart in prayer
And your love finds me here
Your Strength makes me rise
Destined for hope not demise
Destined for love no reprise

In the quiet
I hear you saying
Be courageous
Be so courageous

I’m lost, I run
I’m scared, I run
so anxious, I can't take this, I run
oh, I run
I’m a target
For everyone’s shot
quivers fly into me
blood, sweat, hot
And all I can do
Is run to you, is run to you
I run to you, I run to you

I Run

I Run (rerecorded w/K8)

The Fourth Man In the Fire

Words & Music by Jonathan Wallers
2025 ©️N8 Plays Nice Publishing (ASCAP)

No smoke in my lungs, tied at the wrist 
We were the rebels, we never slipped 
We stood strong, we ain't flinched a bit 
Boldness and strength, yah, we got it quick

Heat rising, the crowd went still 
Into the fire, not bowing to a king's will 
We ain't holy, but we live clean 
We stand for what God's saints have seen

Never thought it was over, flames in an oven sound 
There was a Fourth Man walking around 
He didn't speak, but we met in God's space 
A Fourth Man glowing in the hottest place

I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
Didn’t burn, didn’t break, went higher 
We didn’t quake, we didn't shake and bake 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire 

I ain’t perfect — nah, I’m that third 
Didn’t deserve it, still got the Word
 Ash on my face, and peace on my chest 
He ain’t show late, He beat the test

I saw gold where the chains had been 
Fire didn’t hurt, it freed my sin 
Three were bold, we ain't scared 
Still He stood beside us there

You don’t have to be perfect to be protected 
You don’t have to be clean to be selected 
He steps in when the world rejects it 
That’s love, unedited, unexpected

I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
Didn’t burn, didn’t break, went higher 
We didn’t quake, we didn't shake and bake 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire 

Third man, flawed man, and we still got saved 
In the blaze, we all saw His face 
We ain't heroes, we just the proof 
He steps in with nothing to prove

So here’s the story 
How we got thrown in 
the burning fire

King said bow when the music play
We say “Nah, we don't worship that way”

We Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego 
Worship our God, not yours, so throw

Bold like a lion — “We know what’s true” 
If saved or not, we don’t trade truth

Your king’s charade? We ain't in line 
So the fire got lit — turned up seven times

Soldiers dropped dead tryna throw us in 
But inside that heat was a different spin

Fourth in the flame, walking side by side 
The chains fell off, and we stayed alive

They amazed when the math got changed 
The Fourth Man got all the fame

Didn’t smell like smoke, that you can bet 
Went from three to four the moment we met
 The Fourth Man in the fire 
The Fourth Man in the fire

I met the Fourth Man in the fire
 I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
Didn’t burn, didn’t break, went higher 
We didn’t quake, we didn't shake and bake 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire
 I met the Fourth Man in the fire
 I met the Fourth Man in the fire
