Favorite Worship Music: “The Stand”

This is a newer favorite. The first time I heard this song was by our youth band, who by the way, is hands-down the best youth band on earth. And, no. That’s not an exaggeration. At any rate, the song is “The Stand.” And it’s just this powerful anthem of worship that is awesome to sing with hundreds of followers of Jesus. It’s written by Joel Houston of Hillsong United. If anyone from Hillsong has ever written a bad worship song, I haven’t heard it! PLEASE listen to this one. You’ll be glad you did.

THE STAND (music/lyrics by Joel Houston – Hillsong United)

Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

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
And what can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

Verse 3:

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
And what can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You (x 2)

Chorus:

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

(Repeat chorus x 2)

The phrase no pain, no gain has been a mantra for athletes and fitness junkies for years. And what they understand about physical pain needs to be broadened to a much more general use in all of our lives. Pain hurts. That's the whole problem. No one enjoys it, and if someone does, we rightfully
