"If I Stand"

There's more that rises in the morning than the sun

And more that shines in the night than just the moon

There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm

In a shelter that is larger than this room

And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments

And a music higher than the songs that I can sing

Stuff of Earth competes for the allegiance

I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through

And if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You

So if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs

And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

And there's more that dances on the prairies than the wind

And more that pulses in the ocean than the tide

There's a love that's fiercer than the love between friends

More gentle than a mother's when her baby's at her side

And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments

And a music higher than the songs that I can sing

The stuff of Earth competes for the allegence

I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise that You will pull me through

And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You

And if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs

And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

So if I stand let me stand on the promise You will pull me through

And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You

And if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs

And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for home
