Stand Up

Lord help me to stand up for You
even through the darkest hours of night
Lord help me to stand up for You
even if the sun does not shine
Lord help me to stand up for You
even when the world calls me to deny
Lord help me to stand up for You
even if it costs me my life
Help me to stand up

Help me to stand up
in my trials and testing
stand firm in You 
the One I'm trusting

Help me to stand up
even in the face of danger
for You alone, Lord,
are my savior

Help me to stand up
even if for Your name
they persecute me
insult me or falsely accuse me

Help me to stand up
even if they were to enslave me
for in You Lord
I'm already set free


Help me to stand up
no matter what the costs
for Your sake 
to count all things as loss

Help me to stand up
every night and day
from Your paths & truths
never to stray

Help me to stand up
even if they say I'm strange
Let me never 
Your name exchange

Help me to stand up
even if it's alone
Lord You 
to never disown.
