Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter and inspirational speaker Briana Domenica is excited to announce the release of her brand new single, “Here I Stand.” It was written from raw emotion and comes from a deeply personal place. Domenica aims to uplift and provide hope for tomorrow to those who are walking in the darkness of despair and battling doubts and fears.

“Here I Stand” delivers an extremely poignant message of promise and hope. With its compelling melody, that will have listeners crankin’ up the volume and singing along, the lyrics remind believers that although we may face struggles that we can’t seem to overcome, no challenge is too big for God and if we trust in Him, He will see us through difficult times.

Domenica reflects, “On the surface, this song is about overcoming obstacles, but it’s much deeper than that.

It is actually about the spiritual battle we are faced with every day. We have an enemy and John 10:10 says he comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Often, times we feel like we are on the losing end of that battle, I know recently I have, but God has used this song to speak new life into me and remind me that with Christ I can keep fighting and ultimately stand firm in Him.

My hope is that this song can be that same reminder and encouragement for everyone who hears it.”

Co-written with Glenn Green, “Here I Stand” was produced by Cedric Isreal in his studio just outside Nashville. “I am so happy for this song and honored to be a part of it!” Isreal adds. “Briana has a genuine message and humble heart. Her love for God and other people shines through in her amazing voice. ‘Here I Stand’ is a beautiful and powerful anthem that will encourage you!”

“I won’t be ashamed of my story
I won’t let my doubts get the glory
The past I’ve known won’t keep me from the future I dream of

But every day my fears try to own me
Telling me that I am unworthy
The lies that wage this war inside cannot define my life

Here I stand, Here I am
I’m not giving up; I won’t back down
Holding on tight, I’m still in this fight
I’ll overcome; don’t count me out
No, the battle isn’t over yet
Here I stand

I won’t live my life filled with sorrow
There is always hope for tomorrow
So, if I break or if I bend, I know it’s not the end

I’m not broken, I’m not damaged
I am more than wounds and scars
As I learn to love who I am
I’ll find healing for my heart…”

Briana Domenica has a positive and encouraging message to share with all ages and wants to utilize the power of her music and story to make a difference in the lives of others.
