Around us lives are crumbling as truth is compromised,
And those who stand for holiness are mocked and criticized,
But if we love our Savior, His Word we will obey,
Because we are forgiven, with boldness we will say,
Upon the Rock of Ages we stand.
Although the battle rages we stand.
Enabled by His grace,
Until we see His face,
Upheld by His strong hand,
We stand.
With hearts filled with compassion for those who have not heard
The message of salvation, the truth of God’s own Word.
And though the world oppose us, though Satan’s darts may flame,
Protected by God’s armor His message we’ll proclaim,
Upon the Rock of Ages we stand.
Although the battle rages we stand.
Enabled by His grace,
Until we see His face,
Upheld by His strong hand,
We stand.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Rom. 5:1-2)
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore….” (Eph. 6:11-14)
My husband, my mom, my little girl, and I were trying this song out last night. This isn’t very “professional”, but we sure enjoyed singing it! And just a bit of trivia, I learned to play the piano on this piano. It is very dear to me 🙂
A note about this song: the chorus is able to stand independently of the verses, and would be well-suited as a church theme chorus or fellowship song. If you would like to purchase the sheet music, the hymn-style download is now available in my store, and is available for only $1 per copy (33% off retail) for a limited time. Order enough for your entire church! I plan to add a choral arrangement and a trio arrangement soon.
Will you join me in committing to stand with and for the truth in 2015? If so, share this post with the hashtag, #WeStand.
