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?
 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
 Now it's nearly twenty hundred years
 Since You were crucified
 With my heart and soul and all You gave me
 I would give my life
 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
