Some say it’s political
Some say it’s dangerous
Some tell me not to
But my conscience begs me “Do this”
So when I stand
I stand for something
That’s deep down in my gut
It’s so strong it pulls at me
That means I can’t ignore it
I believe it comes from God
He wants me to stand
Stand for the downtrodden
Stand for the hated
Stand for the bullied
Stand for the marginalised
He wants me to be there to support them To be with them and love them.
Yet my friends and family tell me
Be careful - they suggest don’t do it
But if I don’t do what God says
And what He asks of me
How can I hold my head?
How can I stand tall?
How can I keep growing taller?
The only way I know
Is to do what He commands
And I know He honours that
By blessing me
Helping me grow taller
So in His strength
I’ll keep growing
Growing in love and compassion
In HIS will for my life
And I’m proud to stand
Knowing this is my calling from God
