If I Stand lyrics - Owl City

(originally by Rich Mullins)

There’s more that rises in the morning than the sun

And more that shines in the night than just the moon

It’s more than 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

The stuff of earth competes with 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

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

Oh, yeah

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 with 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

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

Oh

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

And if I weep let it be

As a man who is longing for his home
