If I Stand

          This is one of my all time favorite songs.  It’s just not the same without hearing it sung, but the lyrics paint such incredible word pictures all by themselves.  The chorus is a way of living; a beautiful one that lives and breathes for God.

   I would definitely encourage you to look this song up:

If I Stand ~ Rich Mullins

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

And a shelter that is larger than this room

And there’s a loyalty that’s deeper that mere sentiment

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

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 there’s more that dances on the prairies than the wind

More that pulses in the ocean than the tide

There’s a love that is fiercer than the love between friends:

More gentle than a mothers, when her baby’s at her side

And there’s a loyalty that’s deeper that mere sentiment

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

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
