Lyrics: MC Tempo. Direct From The Heart. The Stand.

(feat. Nathan Ironside)

Intro - epesians 6

the time has come to stand for all we believe in

Perfect in everyway, in Christ's plan
Yarway....., the one who made the wide land
let your light shine, bright like a light stand
Jesus Christ, the rock on which I stand

when the season of hardships, birth i stand firm
flee from the desires of youth, i pray that man turn
from the sin that hurts, them like a bad burn
armed with the sword of the spirit, my dad's word

greater is he who's in me, than he who's in this land
my feet are grounded, on the rocks of HIS plan
and though we face temp, tation's of satan
i trust in Christ Jesus, .........and choose to stand

when i feel tried by the flames, of a blazing furnace
burdened and hurt, by that evil surpant
and in those times, when i'm feeling worthless
i'll still stand firm, on my feet and worship


in your presence i come, out of my shell
amazed at your forgiveness, escaping hell
though i struggle aswell, i try to run well
and lift my hands high, to you like a dumb bell

apprahend, what i stand against
ample threats, and the stress
standing firm this time, and the next
we your people, who your hand protects

you stood before, creation - my creater
eternity in your hand, life - maker
i'll walk up on, salvation - my saviour
my sin on you who, stood for my failure

let us conquer evil, by doing whats right
let us stand firm, and fight the good fight
we stand in aw of you, who made the light
we stand in aw, of you who gave us Christ


let me only trust you, when the evil one lie's
let me desern the truth, and recodnise whats right
our relationship with you, that the cross binds
together with the belt of truth, and not lie's

petitioning in prayer, for them who've run from you
anxious about nothing, cos were trusting you
so great is your glory, grace and love too
the prince of peace, the one i come to

from my comfort zone, to your presence i enter
i abandon my heart, to you i surrender
you died for me, your my hearts defender
you gave your life for me, my soul protector

and in your heart rejoyce, when other's mock ya
coz its not the, healthy that need a doctor
got the breastplate of righousness, there up on ya
standing in Christ now, nothing can stop ya
