On a judgement day
He was dragged away.
This world accused him of lies.
Full of power and grace
With an angels face
He claimed Christ as Lord
and was sentenced to die.
And as eternity stood
A stone's throw away.
Stephen's eyes met Jesus
and he began to pray,
Chorus 1:
"I will stand for you
Because you died for me
I'll lay down my life
For the world to see
That your power is real
That your love is true
You died for me.
Jesus, you died for me,
I'll stand for you."
Verse 2:
Glory shown around
Christ was looking down,
Stephen paid a precious price.
He gave everything
Every Hope and Dream
For The Lamb of God,
The ultimate sacrifice!
As the heavens opened
on that appointed day,
Christ rose to his feet,
And looked at Stephen to say,
Chorus 2:
"I will stand for you
Because you died for me
I'll open the heavens
For the world to see
That my power is real
that my love is true
You died for me
Stephen, you died for me,
I'll stand for you!"
Bridge:
In the midst of
All persecution
When it means
That I must stand alone.
If I'm worth dying for,
Then you're worth living for.
So I give you my heart.
I give you my soul.
Will you give Jesus your soul?
Will you stand?
