Lyrics
Sometimes it's hard
For me to understand
Why we pull away from each other so easily
Even though we're walking the same road
And we build dividing walls
Between our brothers and ourselves
Well I, I don't care
What label you may wear
If you believe in Jesus you belong with me
The bond we share is all I care to see
We can change this world forever
If you will join with me
Join and sing
(chorus)
You're my brother
You're my sister
So take me by the hand
Together we will work until he comes
There's no foe that can defeat us
When we're walking side by side
As long as there is love
We will stand
(verse 2)
I know the day
It will come
When we will be as one
With one mighty voice together we will proclaim
That Jesus, Jesus Christ is king
And it will echo through this whole earth
And shake every nation and
All the world will see
(chorus)
(bridge)
We will stand, will you stand with me brother
We will stand together,
As long as there is love, as long as there is love
We will stand, brother to brother
We will stand, we belong together
As long as there is love, as long as there is love
As long as there is love...
(chorus 2x)
(end chorus)
As long as there is love, as long as there is love
For as long as there is love, we will stand, oh we will stand

Meaning & Inspiration
We Will Stand centers Christian unity across labels and divisions. The verses acknowledge how readily believers can pull apart even while walking the same road, then answer that fracture with a shared confession of Jesus Christ. Its language of brothers and sisters joining hands presents love as active fellowship rather than sentiment, expressed through standing and working side by side until Christ comes.
The song also looks toward a united proclamation that Jesus Christ is King. That hope closely reflects biblical calls for believers to preserve unity and recognize one body under one Lord. The repeated assurance that no foe can defeat a community walking together gives the chorus its confidence, while its condition, as long as there is love, keeps mutual care central. The result is a communal gospel song about belonging, reconciliation, perseverance, and a public witness shaped by faith in Christ.
