Here I Stand

Bold here I stand for I can do none else.
My eyes are on the Christ, the Crucified,
The Risen One. In sickness and in health,
For truth I stand and with my Jesus side.

Firm, here I stand, decision Christ-ward made
I cannot yield to falsehoods or to lies.
Strong in my Lord, I am secure and stayed
In Him who is sufficient, ever wise.

Still here I stand upon the Word of God.
I passionately seek my Savior’s face.
His path I follow that the Saints have trod.
His peace I find, His love, His joy, His grace.

Now here I stand, all else I cannot do
No matter what, I stand for what is true.
