If I Stand Lyrics - Jars Of Clay

There's more that rises in the morning than the sun 

And more that shines in the night than just the moon 

There's more than just 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 

Stuff of Earth competes for the allegiance 

I owe only to the Giver of all good things 

So if I stand let me stand on the promise, You will pull me through 

And if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You 

So 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 for the allegence 

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, 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 

But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home 

But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for home
