I'll Always Stand for You

I was listening to my son's tree 63
CD. I happened upon this song and it moved me greatly.

Jesus, I stand for You
No matter what You lead me through
They will chase me out
And close me down
But Jesus I'll stand for You

I'll always stand
I'll always stand
I'll always stand for You
In all this world,
You're all that's true
I'll always stand for you

Jesus, I've stood my ground
When unbelief was all around
I have felt the sting
Rejection brings
But Jesus I still stand for You
(listen to it)

Powerful. So exciting to hear young people making bold faith commitments. It reminds me of a song I sang as a child in church...
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.

I remember singing that to the Lord with such GREAT conviction. It still come to mind now and then.
A new sound an new generation, the same call to commitment to follow our Lord.
No turning back
Jesus, I'll stand for you...

Let this be your statement of faith for today.
