So I'll stand...

... with arms high and heart abandoned.

The Stand

by Hillsong United

album: United We Stand (2006)

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke all life into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

Show me Your heart
Show me Your way
Show me Your glory

Love it or loathe it, Hillsong United's United We Stand album shouldn't be ignored. But none of the tracks stand out more than this one. This piece starts of slow and gradually builds up a crescendo until the congregation breaks into a chorus of the most powerful lines in the song: "So I'll stand, with arms high and heart abandoned, in awe of the One who gave it all".

Very the powerful.
