The Stand
Words and Music by Joel Houston
© 2005 Joel Houston / Hillsong Publishing

VERSE 1:
You stood before creation
Eternity in Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

VERSE 2:
You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

PRE CHORUS:
So what can I say
And what could I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

VERSE 2:
So I’ll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

CHORUS:
So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

My mother just passed. This was "our" song. I'm just a hardheaded kid of hers but this song always made me feel connected to her and loved. Pray for my family please guys.

This was the song that was playing when I gave myself life over to God on Feb 18, 2011

[topworshipsongs]

God never sends you into a situation alone, God goes before you, He stands beside you, He walks behind you. Whatever situation you have right now be confident. God is with you. AMEN ❤

Just heard this song for the first just spoke to me 😢

This song is so nostalgic, while I'm listening I'm remembering all the moments in my life that I past through listening this, more than 10 years, and I'm here in 2020 in quarantine remembering Hillsong ancient songs.

What I love is the bible says.. each time a person comes to know God.. all of heaven rejoices.. ALL OF HEAVEN.. this is just a small amount of people in the eternal perspective.. so imagine what heaven could possibly be like.. when people have confidence in their God and have been set free from the shame and burdens of the past.. just being able to enjoy the presence of God and receive that love that restores the heart and mind.. allowing love for others with the same grace.. that is the eternal perspective.. freedom to be who people were created to be

Worshipping in tears of despair, it was this song I sang out and was delivered from a demon. I was saved that day 4th January 2015

[nshongitours]

I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned in awe of the one who gave it all, I'll stand my soul Lord to you surrendered!

[suveshsewrajh]

Am not religious in any specific way.i do believe in a higher power and I love things/words/melodies that bring me a sense of feeling that am close to that higher power.thats why I love Hillsong!

[joshuamensah]

God is too good and too gracious, don't lose faith in those seasons of bleakness. He IS there for you, he has always been there for you, and he forever will be. Stay consistent in prayer, He hears you.

[reggiBB]

This is the album, when I was 12, that saved my life

[JohnHicks]

This is one of my most favorite worship songs of all time. I first heard it many years ago in RealLife youth at James River Church. Standing in a room with a thousand teens singing this song with all their hearts to the Lord. I remember it to this day.

The Stand

Hillsong United

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hands
You spoke all life into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
And what could I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
And what could I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So what can I say
And what could I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I'll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

This song is so heavily anointed. It gets me every single time. It feels like a love song to God and a reminder of His incredible love for His bride all at once.

[nontomashoai]

I cannot believe that I discovered this song only yesterday, yet I listen to Hillsong almost every day

[kellyoketch]

FOREVER GOD IS REAL AND ALIVE AND WE CAN'T CHANGE THAT BUT ONLY SURRENDER OUR LIVES TO HIM.
