Song Lyrics

I decided to take a stand
Not knowing I'll lose my best friend
But I'd rather, I'd rather live right
Than in hell lift up my eyes
All of God's children just stand
Tell somebody say, "You stand"
Yeah Lord, yeah

Stand for holiness
Stand for holiness
Stand for righteousness
And be counted among them
That shall reign with Him
You stand
When friends are gone
Stand when you're all alone
And believe He shall receive His own

I decided to take a stand
Not believing I'd lose some of my friends
And I would rather, I'd rather live right
Than in hell lift up my eyes
All of God's children just stand
Stand, everybody say, "You stand"

Stand for holiness
Stand for holiness
Stand for righteousness
And be counted among them
That shall reign with Him
That shall reign with Him
You stand (stand when)
When friends are gone
Stand when you're all alone
And believe He shall receive His own

Stand for holiness (stand for holiness)
Stand for righteousness
And be counted among them
That shall reign with Him
I'm gonna be in the number

You stand
When friends are gone
Stand when you're all alone
And believe He shall receive His own (coming back to get us)

Oh, stand for holiness
Stand for holiness
Stand for righteousness
And be counted among them
That shall reign with Him

You stand
When friends are gone
Stand when you're all alone
And believe He shall receive His own

Everybody stand up and sing
Stand for holiness (for holiness)
Stand for righteousness (for righteousness)
And be counted among them
That shall reign with Him

You stand (stand)
When friends are gone (stand)
Stand when you're all alone
And believe He shall receive (and receive)
And believe He shall receive
And believe He shall receive His own (and believe, shall receive His own)

(People say) stand (help me out)
You gonna do it (stand)
You gonna do gonna do it no
You gonna do gonna do it no (stand)
(Point to somebody say) you stand
You stand
Halleluja
Clap your hands everybody
Clap your hands everybody
Halleluja
