I will stand
Pam Thum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe in God the Father
I believe in Jesus Christ His only Son
He was crucified, buried and rose again
So that I might have eternal life
And it is on the promise I will stand

In this world of temptation
I will stand for what is right
With a heart of salvation
I will hold up the light
If I live or if I die
If I laugh or if I cry
In this world of temptation
I will stand

I have felt the world's attraction
Looked in the devil's eyes
I have lived what I do not believe
I've danced with compromise
But I'm not a child of darkness
Though I've walked through shadow lands
So I will rise to meet the mission
With conviction, I will stand
When I saw His eyes of mercy
And felt the warmth of peace
I made my God a promise
To live what I believe

In this world of temptation
I will stand for what is right
With a heart of salvation
I will hold up the light
If I live or if I die
If I laugh or if I cry
In this world of temptation
I will stand

I have heard the Spirit moving
Like a strong and gentle wind
As it called from in my solace
To walk in truth again
I won't waver for His purpose
If I'm mocked or if I'm praised
For the Cross of Jesus Christ
I will march in this crusade
For my heart to be found faithful
I must live with certainty
I lay down all my illusions
And take up this simple creed

In this world of temptation
I will stand for what is right
With a heart of salvation
I will hold up the light
If I live or if I die
If I laugh or if I cry
In this world of temptation
I will stand

I wanna live with Godly passion
For what I know is true
I'm gonna take Your word
And give myself completely to You

In this world of temptation
I will stand for what is right
With a heart of salvation
I will hold up the light
If I live or if I die
If I laugh or if I cry
In this world of temptation
I will stand





What you gonna do
No compromise
