Story behind the song
DOWNLOAD: http://dnlhiphop.bandcamp.com/
DNL:
Stand is a song that describes how it is only through Christ that we are able to stand and how He strengthens us beyond what we could possibly do with our own strength. It's kind of an in-your-face type way of saying that no matter what happens I'll be standing because I am standing with Christ.
Protege:
This song talks about the strength God gives his children to stand against Satan's attacks and the ultimate glory that they will receive only by the providence of Christ and the power of His Word, imparted to us by the Holy Spirit.
Lyrics
Hook
Even if ya come with all ya got / I'll be standing
Even if ya put me on the spot / I'll be standing
Give up? No, I cannot! / I'll be standing
I'll be standing / Be standing (I Stand!)
Even though it's a long shot / I'll be standing
Even though it'll be nonstop / I'll be standing
Do it on my own? I cannot! / I'll be standing
I'll be standing / Be standing (I Stand!)
Verse 1
I'll assure you of one thing: I'll be standing
But flying high like the mars rover landing
With Christ in my life and in others we're expanding
He's at the head of our church He's commanding
And all of the stuff that He is demanding
To be Holy like Him is somewhat maddening
To sinners in His eyes that sin outstanding
All their complaints to God sound like rambling
See if they would join with the Son of Man
They would see He's got the world in His hands
He's got a purpose for their lives and a plan
If only they would just surrender to Him and stand
Verse 2
I be dropping lyrics on these bars I'm rapping
Wrapping them up like gifts I'm packing
Send them out online I'm "Mac-ing"
Write a verse with a flow that I'm attacking
To get to heaven I need Holiness I'm lacking
To find a way there my brain I'm racking
Only found a way with Christ He's sacrificed an'
Gave His life an' now I'm like a lit fire I'm crackling
Shine His light across the world I'm flashing
Try to plant some seeds now I'm branching
I be kinda young in my walk I'm a sapling
Yet He fixes me up where I fall He's patching
Verse 3 (Protege)
Yo how firm a foundation he's given me to stand on
Despite my aggravation, who do I depend on?
Well don't you know the one who died and yet he still lives on?
The everlasting God; who gives me strength to move on
Now let me move on, even champion strength is temporary
Even if your an olympian your glory's momentary
But I know a God who gives strength out of the ordinary
I was weak but now I'm standing and it's so legendary
Now watch my itinerary I'm waitin' on the Lord
Then I'm readin in His Word; keeps me sharp like a sword
Heedin' the Spirit's warning on what I can't afford
Trustin' my Father will get me when I fall out of accord!
