The Stand Lyrics

You stood before creation
Eternity in Your hand
And 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 could I say?
And what could 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 could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, O God
Completely to You

So what could I say?
And what could 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
[Repeat 4 times]

So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, O God
Completely to You

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Superb song. "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 4 times]"

They repeat about 20 times when it's played live. It's that powerful. Everyone gets into it.

I never realized that this song was called "The Stand". I am absolutely in love with this song and band. My church band sings this, and the student ministry sings it too. "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" Gives me the chills every time<3
