Lyrics

Ooh, ooh
Please stand in me
Oh, love me Lord
Jehovah Nissi

Of the move of God
Please stand in me
I won't break through from the Lord
Jehovah Nissi, oh, Lord
Please stand in me

I can see victory over the clouds (In me)
Let go of misery holdin' me down (In me)
I can go places where ain't no love allowed (In me)
I was a tragedy, look at me now (In me)

Perfect timin', now I'm shinin' (In me)
Now I blind 'em whenever I'm smilin', no (In me)
Ain't no more hidin', now I'm livin' out loud (In mе)
What a sight to see, wow

It ain't no mistery, I'm feelin' me again, oh
If you know my history then you don't know who I am, oh no
It's a cеlebration, private conversation
Bye-bye to hesitation, it's only elevation
And the sun don't rise 'til I walk in the room, ooh

I'm showin' up for me, finally (Please stand in me)
I'm takin' care of me, finally (Oh, love me, good friend, good Lord)
Yeah, I'm lovin' me finally (I'm on my knees, oh, oh)
Finally, finally, finally, finally (Please stand in me)

I'm showin' up for me, finally (Please stand in me)
I'm sayin' yes to me, finally (Oh, love me, Lord)
Yeah, I'm lovin' me, finally (I'm on my knees, oh, oh)
Finally, finally, finally, finally (Please stand in me)

Something's happenin' deep in my soul (In me)
Things are workin' out, I can't control (In me)
I'm givin' grace to every flaw that I own (In me)
What a sight to see, woah

It ain't no mystery, I'm needin' me for once, oh
If you know my history, then you know how far I've come, oh no
It's a celebration, private conversation
Bye-bye to hesitation, it's only elevation
And the sun don't rise 'til I walk in the room

I'm showin' up for me, finally (Please stand in me)
I'm takin' care of me, finally (Oh, love me Lord)
Yeah, I'm lovin' me finally (Jehovah Nissi)
Finally, finally, finally, finally (Of the move of God)

I'm showin' up for me, finally (Please stand in me)
I'm sayin' yes to me, finally, oh (Oh, Lord breakthrough)
Yeah, I'm lovin' me, finally (I'm on my knees, oh, oh)
Finally, finally, finally, finally (Please stand in me)

Please stand in me
Oh, Lord breakthrough, oh, good Lord
Jehovah Nissi, oh Lord
Please stand in

In me
In me
In me
Of the move of God

Please stand in me
Oh, Lord breakthrough, oh, good Lord
Jehovah Nissi, oh Lord
Please stand in me
