The Stand

It's not my favorite blog, but I do enjoy reading Stuff Christians Like. And back in July when I read #2 on Jon's list of "Hand Raising Worship - The 10 Styles," it kind of made me mad. Then I read #10 on the list and I sort of got it.

Which was cool, because not too long after reading that post we started singing The Stand at church, and for this song, at least, I've become a YMCAer.

The Stand

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
