Lead Sheet: I Stand

I Stand - Song History

WORDS & MUSIC
Dennis Jernigan
April 26, 2016

While preparing for the upcoming NGCI
( Next Generation Creative Institute),
I began asking the Lord if He had any
songs of worship or songs of deliverance
for this particular group. No sooner had I 
gotten that prayer out than these words 
began to flow right there in the coffee shop
where I sat. It began with the series of questions 
which led me to the chorus. Anywhere we 
stand - any foundation from which we live 
our lives - is shaky ground if not grounded
on the Solid Rock of Jesus Christ. The chorus
is my answer - my personal declaration of faith.
I used the song the next night in my home
church and felt it needed a bridge. The bridge 
was born in a few moments. My prayer is that 
you would be encouraged and emboldened in 
your faith as you ask these questions and 
declare the answer - THE Answer - Jesus Christ!

Dennis Jernigan

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God 
stands, having this seal, The Lord knows
those who are His,€ and, Everyone who 
names the name of the Lord is to abstain
from wickedness.

2 Timothy 2:19 NASB

Verse

Where do I belong? 

Where do I fit in?

How is my beginning 

Different from the end?
 

When the world is falling 

All apart around me, 

Just how will I stand, Lord? 

Who am I for real?

Who am I to You?

Why do I exist and what am I to do?

When the world is falling

All apart around me,

Just what will I stand for?

Chorus

I stand here redeemed! 

Purchased by the blood! 

A child of the King!

Transformed by perfect love! 

I stand here unashamed! 

Cleansed of all my sin!

From bondage set free! 

By the King Who rose again! 

I stand! I stand! I stand!

Verse

Unashamed of You! 

Unashamed to be! 

Unashamed to be my true identity! 

When the world is falling 

All apart around me,

I will stand for You, Lord! 

Unashamed and clean!

Unashamed! Redeemed! 

Unashamed! No longer 

Who I used to be!

When the world is falling 

All apart around me,

I will stand with You, Lord!

Chorus

I stand here redeemed! 

Purchased by the blood!

A child of the King!

Transformed by perfect love!

I stand here unashamed!

Cleansed of all my sin!

From bondage set free! 

By the King Who rose again! 

I stand! I stand! I stand!
