Strength for the Journey

I won't back down,
No, I won't back down.
You can stand me up at the gates of hell,
but I won't back down.

...gonna stand my ground,
...gonna keep this world from draggin' me down,

no, I won't back down.

Words from
I Won't Back Down - Tom Petty


I really like just about anything Tom Petty, but I have always loved this song. There are many hurting people out there--and some of these people do their best to whip you down to numb their own pain. Because Christ lives in me, I am stronger than I ever thought possible because He is able when I am not.

"Gonna keep this world from draggin' me down,
no, I won't back down."
