The Reason That I'm Standing

I have stood for the Gospel When it seemed I stood alone And through the heartaches and frustration I kept my focus on the Throne So many times I have recalled The Savior's words so true "If you won't be ashamed of me Then I won't be of you" So I'll proudly stand until I see The face of the One who gave Everything for me When the reason that I'm standing Stands in front of me Every battle that I've fought Will fade from memory I'll bow before His mighty throne And fall down on my knees When the reason that I'm standing Stands in front of me The road has not been easy At times I lost my way So often I have stumbled Searching for the light of day Circumstances all around me I thought I'd surely fall When the whispering of doubt fear Told me "You will lose it all" But He kept me with His Amazing Grace And someday soon I'll have the chance To thank Him face to face When the reason that I'm standing Stands in front of me Every battle that I've fought Will fade from memory I'll bow before His mighty throne And fall down on my knees When the reason that I'm standing Stands in front of me We will join the millions Every kindred tongue and race Every child of God that day Will look upon His face And the heroes and the martyrs Who died on the pagan sword We'll all stand together And declare, "JESUS IS LORD" When the reason that I'm standing Stands in front of me Every battle that I've fought Will fade from memory I'll bow before His mighty throne And fall down on my knees When the reason that I'm standing Stands in front of me When the reason that I'm standing Stands in front of me Every battle that I've fought Will fade from memory I'll bow before His mighty throne And fall down on my knees When the reason that I'm standing Stands in front of me When the reason that I'm standing Stands in front of me
