If I Stand
(Michael Adler)
There’s more that rises in the morning
than the sun
And more that shines in the night than just
the moon
There’s more than just this fire here
That keeps me warm in a shelter
That is larger than this room
There’s a loyalty that’s deeper than mere
sentiment
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of earth competes for 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 borne in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home
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 is fiercer
Than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother’s
When her baby’s at her side
There’s a loyalty that’s deeper than
mere sentiment
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of earth competes for allegiance
I owe only to the Giver of all good things
