I HAVE STOOD
FOR THE GOSPEL
WHEN IT SEEMED
I STOOD ALONE
BUT THROUGH
THE HEARTACHE
AND FRUSTRATION
I KEPT MY FOCUS
ON THE THRONE
SO MANY TIMES
I HAVE RECALLED
THE SAVIOR'S WORDS
SO TRUE
IF YOU WON'T BE
ASHAMED OF ME
I WON'T BE OF YOU
SO I'LL PROUDLY STAND
UNTIL I SEE
THE FACE OF THE ONE
WHO GAVE
EVERYTHING FOR ME
WHEN THE REASON
THAT I'M STANDING
STANDS IN FRONT OF ME
EVERY BATTLE
THAT I'VE FOUGHT
WILL FADE FROM MEMORY
I'LL BOW BEFORE
HIS MIGHTY THRONE
AND FALL DOWN
ON MY KNEES
WHEN THE REASON
THAT I'M STANDING
STANDS IN FRONT OF ME
4 BAR
BREAK
THE ROAD
HAS NOT BEEN EASY
AT TIMES
I'VE LOST MY WAY
SO OFTEN
I HAVE STUMBLED
SEARCHING FOR
THE LIGHT OF DAY
CIRCUMSTANCES
ALL AROUND ME
I THOUGHT
I'D SURELY FALL
THE WHISPERING
OF DOUBT AND FEAR
TOLD ME
YOU WILL LOSE IT ALL
BUT HE KEPT ME
WITH HIS AMAZING GRACE
AND SOMEDAY SOON
I'LL HAVE THE CHANCE
TO THANK HIM
FACE TO FACE
WHEN THE REASON
THAT I'M STANDING
STANDS IN FRONT OF ME
EVERY BATTLE
THAT I'VE FOUGHT
WILL FADE
FROM MEMORY
I'LL BOW BEFORE
HIS MIGHTY THRONE
AND FALL DOWN
ON MY KNEES
WHEN THE REASON
THAT I'M STANDING
STANDS IN FRONT OF ME
WE WILL JOIN
THE MILLIONS
EVERY KINDRED TONGUE
AND RACE
EVERY CHILD OF GOD
THAT DAY
WILL LOOK UPON
HIS FACE
WITH THE HEROES
AND THE MARTYRS
WHO DIED ON
THE PAGAN SWORD
WE'LL ALL STAND
TOGETHER
AND DECLARE
JESUS IS LORD
WHEN THE REASON
THAT I'M STANDING
STANDS IN FRONT OF ME
EVERY BATTLE
THAT I'VE FOUGHT
WILL FADE FROM MEMORY
I'LL BOW BEFORE
HIS MIGHTY THRONE
AND FALL DOWN
ON MY KNEES
WHEN THE REASON
THAT I'M STANDING
STANDS IN FRONT OF ME
OH OH OH OH OH YEAH
WHEN THE REASON
THAT I'M STANDING
STANDS IN FRONT OF ME
