"Stand Like the Son" (by Ray Clyde / Thunderbird)

[Verse 1 – Ephesians 5:25 / 1 Peter 3:7 / Colossians 3:19] You were called to love, not rule with fear, To wash her feet, not disappear. She’s not your servant, she’s your grace— A fellow heir, a holy place. Don't call it manhood if it’s control— Jesus died to make her whole. [Chorus – 1 Corinthians 13 / Philippians 2:5-8] Stand like the Son who laid down pride, Love that bleeds, not one that hides. Patient, kind, not keeping score— The man of God kneels on the floor. Take back your crown from selfish hands, Repent and rise where mercy stands. [Verse 2 – Titus 2:6-8 / 1 Timothy 6:11] Sound in speech, above reproach, Not rage or power in your approach. Fight the good fight, not her soul— Be gentle, pure, and self-controlled. You are not called to dominate— But to reflect the narrow gate. [Bridge – Luke 22:26 / Matthew 23:11 / Galatians 5:22-23] The greatest leads by bending low, The Spirit bears what force won’t grow: Peace, joy, and faithful breath, Not fists that bruise or tongues of death. You can’t claim Christ with hands unclean— Go wash in love, let truth be seen. [Final Chorus – Romans 12:1-2 / James 1:22] So offer now your broken pride, A living gift the Lord won’t hide. Be not conformed—renew your mind, And be a doer, not just blind. You were made to love, not rule— Lay down the sword, pick up the stool. [Outro – Hebrews 12:11 / Revelation 3:19] Discipline stings, but it brings peace, Repentance births a soul released. So come back home, O man of dust— Stand like the Son. Learn how to trust.
