(Lyrics with original line by line verse references)
There’s a fire that burns in a young man’s heart (Ps. 42:1-2)
There’s a raging storm in his soul
He’s tired of hearing the unborn cry (Pr. 24:11-12)
But what can he do alone?
He can raise the voice of injustice (Pr. 29:7)
He can join in the victor’s band (Ro. 8:37-39)
Stand, stand up and be counted (Eph. 6:13-18)
Stand, stand up and be counted (Gal. 5:1)
Stand, stand up and be counted (1 Cor. 15:58)
Stand, stand up and be counted (1 Cor. 16:13)
He’s not loud, he doesn’t want to stand out (Jas. 4:4-8)
He works real hard to fit in
He can feel the pain of the breaking hearts
Torn in two by the sin (Ps. 34:18)
On the one hand he wants to be wanted
That’s not what his conscience demands (Ro. 2:13-15)
And the blood of the Prophets screams out (Rev. 6:9-11)
From injustice of days gone by
They died in the streets to set prisoners free (Heb. 11:32-12:2)
Prisoners like you and like me
Original Bible Study Questions from the liner notes:
1. An old saying goes “if you don’t stand for something, then you will fall for anything.” The Bible is quite specific regarding what we are to stand for... what are these truths?
2. The Holy Spirit makes us uncomfortable when we say we believe one thing but then do something (or nothing) different. How can we learn to lead consistent Christian lives?
