Tell me where’s the hope I have been missing
Tell me where’s the cross I’m called to bear
How has this distance grown between us?
How has this love turned into fear?
I can’t stand here being silent
And expect the world to change alone
If my child was crying for a single piece of bread
I could not give her a stone!
CHORUS
So here I make my stand, but I can’t stand around
But I can take what life is giving and turn it all around…
VERSE
Everyone pretends to know the answer
Everybody says they want a change
We could let the winds of hate defeat us
Or we could be the ones to win the day
Are you waiting for a reason
To break the chains of fear and shake the ground
Love is the power of the Holy Spirit’s fire
Love is the sound of heaven’s song!
CHORUS
So here I make my stand, but I can’t stand around
I can take what life is giving and turn it all around…
Even if the mountains fall between us,
Even if the ocean turns to sand
Jesus is the Way to make it over.
Only on the Rock I stand!
BRIDGE
I’m not ashamed to stand for Jesus
I’m not afraid to give Him my life!
CHORUS
So here I make my stand, but I can’t stand around
I can take what life is giving and turn it all around
Even if the mountains fall between us,
Even if the ocean turns to sand
Jesus is the Way to make it over.
Only on the Rock I stand!
