If I Stand

There’s more that rises in the
Morning than the sun
And more that shines in the
Night than just the moon
It’s more than this fire here
That keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger than this room

And there’s a loyalty that’s
Deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the
Songs that I can sing
The stuff of earth competes with 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

There’s more that dances on the
Prairies than the wind
And more that pulses in the
Ocean than the tide
There’s a love that’s fiercer than
The love between friends
More gentle than a mother’s when
Her baby’s at her side

And there’s a loyalty that’s
Deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the
Songs that I can sing
The stuff of earth competes with 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

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 if, I weep let it be
As a man who is longing for his home
