Stand and Die - Clear

Steadfast Stephen saw his chance to open wide

Unveiling lies, delivering his skin and bones

Upon the hate filled battle cries

They rushed him and they stoned him

But his sights were set on the open skies

I’m in the wake of martyrs gone before me

Waiting to be tried

Is the strength and trust I have in You

Enough that I would stand and die?

Stand and die

Caught in Cassie was a candle

Burning from the wick of life

She had found it when she finally turned to You

That graceful night

When they asked her if she knew you

What else could she reply?

I’m in the wake of martyrs gone before me

Waiting to be tried

Is the strength and trust I have in You

Enough that I would stand and die?

Stand and die

Now it’s nearly twenty hundred years

Since You were crucified

With my heart and soul and all You gave me

I would give my life

I’m in the wake of martyrs gone before me

Waiting to be tried

Is the strength and trust I have in You

Enough that I would stand and die?

Stand and die
