If I Stand — текст песни (Jars Of Clay)

There`s more that rises in the morning than the sun
And 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 sentiments
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
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
So 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 there`s more that dances on the prairies than the wind
And more that pulses in the ocean than the tide
There`s a love that`s 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

So if I stand let me stand on the promise 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 home
