where you stand

This boat was built with wooden nails
Her body small and weak
Yet to cross this sea of uncertain waters
She may still have the strength she needs

This house was built with wooden nails
Her frame unruly and rough
Yet to protect the love she holds inside
She may still have strength enough

Wooden nails are all you need
So I hope you know and I hope you see
That in standing firmly where you stand
Your strength, it strengthens me

This bridge was built with wooden nails
Her footing arched and cracked
Yet to hold the weight of what’s sure to come
It won’t be strength she lacks

Your body’s built with wooden nails
But your eyes still look down from above
As in your arms a baby sleeps
Safe and soft and loved

Wooden nails are all you need
So I hope you know and I hope you see
That in standing firmly where you stand
Your strength, it strengthens me
