With gratitude to Mary Alderson, premier Bible Study Leader, for pointing me to this song —

You can throw small stones, but I won’t fall down
I’ve been lifted up from the battleground
Every word they say, I’ll let it fade away
‘Cause I’m walking with the one who lights my way
The world can spin, but I stand still
On holy ground, I’m in his will
They can dial, they can mock, they can talk all day
But I’m anchor deep, I won’t sway

You can keep your rocks if you don’t like my talk
I’m gonna keep talking and walk my walk with my Lord
Beside me, I’ll never stop
I’m gonna keep shining, I’m rising to the top
My face too strong, my heart too high
I lifted by grace to the endless sky
No matter what comes, I’ll praise the Lord
Forever walking in one accord

Storms may come, but I’ve seen the light
He’s my armor in the darkest night
Every trial is just a step I climb
Building faith one day at a time
They can whisper lies, they can throw their shade
But I’m covered by the price he paid
No fear, no doubt, no turning back
I’m on the narrow, righteous track

You can keep your rocks if you don’t like my talk
I’m gonna keep talking and walk my walk with my Lord
Beside me, I’ll never stop
I’m gonna keep shining, I’m rising to the top
My face too strong, my heart too high
I’m lifted by grace to the endless sky
No matter what comes, I’ll praise the Lord
Forever walking in one accord

Every scar is a story of grace
Every tear is seed in a holy place
I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised
But through it all, I’ve been used
Used for glory, used for life
Used to fight the good fight
So when they doubt, I’ll just smile
‘Cause I’ve been walking with them all the while

Let the rivers roll, let the thunder roll
He’s the calm that steadies my soul
I’m not perfect, but I’m redeemed
Living the promise I once dreamed
Every sunrise reminds me still
His mercy flows, His love fulfills
So I’ll keep walking, head held high
With heaven’s fire in my eyes

You can keep your rocks if you don’t like my talk
I’m gonna keep talking and walk my walk
With my Lord beside me, I’ll never stop
I’m gonna keep shining, I’m rising to the top
My face too strong, my heart too high
Lifted by grace to the endless sky
No matter what comes, I’ll praise the Lord
Forever walking in one accord

Let them talk, let them say what they mean
I’ll keep walking in his way
My life won’t end, my soul won’t tire
I’m fueled by everlasting fire
They can whisper in the shadows
They can throw their stones in vain
But I’m covered by his mercy
Wash clean in the rain

See, I’ve walked through fire and I’ve danced through pain
But every scar I carry is a mark of His name
Won’t bend, I won’t break
Every move I make is for His sake
The world can’t shake
But I stand tall
‘Cause my savior’s stronger than it all
