Stand Lyrics by Denver and The Mile High Or
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Verse 1:

On a judgement day
he was dragged away.
This world accused him of lies.
Full of power and grace
With an angel's face
he claimed Christ as Lord
And was sentenced to die.
And as eternity stood
A stone's throw away,
Stephen's eyes met Jesus,
And he began to pray:

Chorus 1:

"i will stand for You
because You died for me
i'll lay down my life
for the world to see
that Your power is real
that Your love is true
You died for me.
Jesus, You died for me,
i'll stand for You."

Verse 2:

Glory shone around
Christ was looking down,
Stephen paid the precious price.
He gave everything
Every hope and dream
For the Lamb of God,
the ultimate sacrifice!
And as the heavens opened
on that appointed day,
Christ rose to His feet,
Looked at Stephen to say,

Chorus 2:

"I will stand for you
because you died for Me
I'll open the heavens
for the world to see
that My power is real
that My love is true
you died for Me
Stephen, you died for Me,
I'll stand for you!"

Bridge:

In the midst of
All persecution
When it means
That I must stand alone.
If I'm worth dying for,
Then You're worth living for.
So I give You my heart.
I give You my soul.
Will you give Jesus your soul?

Will you stand?
Will you stand?
Will you stand?
Will you stand?

Verse 3:

i will stand for You
No matter the cost
No matter the pain
No matter the loss
i will stand for You
Every day i live
Everything i have
Everything i give
i will stand for You
Through the darkest night
Through the hardest storm
i will be the light
i will stand for You
In all i do
i'll stand for You!

Chorus 1:

i will stand for You
because You died for me
i'll lay down my life
for the world to see
that Your power is real
that Your love is true
You died for me.
Jesus, You died for me,
i'll stand for You.

i'll stand for You
i'll stand for You
Jesus, i'll stand for you!
i'll stand for You
i'll stand for You!
