The Stand
By: Joel Houston
Key: A
Verse 1:
A                           D
You stood before creation, eternity in Your hand
A/C#                     F#m                    D
You spoke the earth into motion, my soul now to stand


Verse 2:
A                                D
You stood before my failure, and carried the cross for my shame
   A/C#                  F#m                       D
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders, my soul now to stand


Pre-Chorus 1:
              D    Bm                       F#m
So what can I say           and what could I do
               D             E                  F#m
But offer this heart Oh God       completely to You


Verse 3:
   A                              D
So I'll walk upon salvation, Your Spirit alive in me
     A/C#                 F#m                     D
This life to declare Your promise, my soul now to stand


Pre-Chorus 2:
              D    Bm                       F#m   A
So what can I say           and what could I do
               Bm7           E              D         A E F#m
But offer this heart Oh God       completely    to You


Bridge:
D            A           E             F#m
So I'll stand, with arms high and heart abandoned
D       A          E       F#m
In awe of the One who gave it all
D         A         E            F#m
I'll stand, my soul Lord to You surrendered
D     A     E     F#m
All I am is Yours
