Stand Verse 1 When the morning sun is rising, And the shadows start to fade, I can hear the Spirit whisper, “Child, don’t be afraid.” There’s a battle all around me, Though my eyes may never see, But the Lord has given armor, And His strength is covering me. Chorus So I’ll stand, In the power of the Lord, With the belt of truth around me, And His living Word. I’ll stand, With His righteousness on me, Holding up the shield of faith, Till I get the victory. When the storm clouds gather near, And I don’t understand, I’ll trust the One who holds tomorrow, And by His grace I’ll stand. Verse 2 The Gospel brings me peace for walking, Every road He calls me down, And salvation is my helmet, When the world is spinning round. The sword of God’s own Spirit, Is the weapon in my hand, Not by might and not by power, But according to His plan. Chorus So I’ll stand, In the power of the Lord, With the belt of truth around me, And His living Word. I’ll stand, With His righteousness on me, Holding up the shield of faith, Till I get the victory. When the storm clouds gather near, And I don’t understand, I’ll trust the One who holds tomorrow, And by His grace I’ll stand. Bridge When the enemy comes calling, When the night is long and cold, When my strength begins to fail me, I’ll remember what I’m told: Be strong in the Lord, And in His mighty hand, For the battle is the Savior’s, My calling is to stand. Final Chorus So I’ll stand, In the power of the Lord, With the belt of truth around me, And His living Word. I’ll stand, Till the trumpet sounds one day, Looking toward my risen Savior, As He wipes all tears away. When I see Him in His glory, And before His throne I stand, I’ll praise the One who carried me, And taught my heart to stand. Outro Truth around me, Faith before me, Peace beneath my feet. Christ beside me, Christ behind me, My victory complete. So I’ll stand… Yes, I’ll stand… In the armor of my King.
