Stand and Die

Steadfast Stephen saw his chance to open wide unveiling lies; Delivering his skin and bones upon the hate-filled battle cries; They rushed him and they stoned him, but his sights were set on the open skies.

I'm in the wake of martyrs gone before me waiting to be tried; Is the strength and trust I have in You enough that I would stand and die? Stand and die.

Caught in Cassie was a candle burning from the wick of life; She had found it when she finally turned to You, that graceful night; When they asked her if she knew You, what else could she reply?

Now it's nearly twenty hundred years since You were crucified; With my heart and soul and all You gave to me I would give my life.
