Lyrics
Some will say it's foolish
Some that it's absurd
But still we choose to build our lives
Upon God's holy Word
We know It's always perfect
We trust It in all things
It's holy and It's right
So whatever this life brings
Chorus:
We stand on what is timeless
We stand on what is true
We stand up unashamed
No matter what the world may do
We stand upon this rock
Spoken by the Lord of all
And though other lives built on sand may fall
We stand
It may not be in fashion
It may not be in vogue
But when we look at empty lives
All around we know
We could live pursuing power
Thinking pleasure satisfies
God's light cuts through the shadows
Revealing they're just lies
Bridge:
Let us trust His every word
Resisting every wrong
Let us read It and believe It
It's our only hope for standing strong

Meaning & Inspiration
Stand presents Scripture as the secure foundation for faithful living. The verses acknowledge that trust in God’s Word may be dismissed as foolish or unfashionable, yet the song answers that pressure with confidence in what is holy, right, and true. Its contrast between God’s light and the empty pursuit of power or pleasure gives the confession a practical setting rather than treating belief as merely abstract.
The chorus echoes Jesus’ picture of lives built on rock or sand. Standing means remaining unashamed when surrounding values shift, because the foundation comes from the Lord rather than public approval. The bridge then turns that conviction into a call to trust, read, and believe every word while resisting wrong. Through its repeated use of “stand,” the lyric joins biblical authority with perseverance. Strength is not credited to personal resolve alone; it comes from receiving God’s Word as the dependable basis for belief and conduct.
