If I Stand

I've been in a funky mood lately! I just feel a little weepy now and then... I think it is just the stress I've been under with the last days of school, but for days I keep singing this song in my head all day long! I love it!! I love Rich Mullins and I miss him!
Anyway, this seems to help me feel better! :) Enjoy!!



"If I Stand"
(by Rich Mullins)

There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
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 sentiment
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 is 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 just the tide

There's a love that's fiercer than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's when a baby's at her side

And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
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
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 is born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home.
