If I Stand

There's more that rises in the morning
 Than the sun
 And more that shines in the night
 Than just the moon
 It'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
 The 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
 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
 There's more that dances on the prairies
 Than the wind
 More that pulses in the ocean
 Than the tide
 There's a love that is 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
 And 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
 And if I weep let it be as a man
 Who is longing for his home
