There once lived a man named Stephen
|
I read about him just the other day
|
A man of conviction
|
Who was not afraid to stand up for what he believed
|
He knew how to please the Father
|
By giving all the glory to the Son
|
With boldness he reminded the Pharisees
|
This Jesus really was the Holy One
|
Before the angry mob drug him, out of the city
|
To stone him, he would not compromise
|
Before the jagged edges cut him
|
He looked up into heaven
|
And when he turned his eyes, he saw a...
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Standing ovation - from Jesus Christ the King
|
A standing ovation - there was a great cloud of witnesses
|
|
Angels all singing
|
Many would deny the Savior
|
When standing face to face with death
|
But Stephen would not deny - he was ready to die
|
He would be faithful to the very last breath
|
He stood for Jesus, and Jesus stood for Him
|
I hope that one day I will become
|
Half the man that Stephen was
|
A man who is willing to stand for the Lord
|
In everything he does
|
I cannot wait to go to heaven
|
I¡¯m gonna find Stephen in the crowd
|
That very first day
|
I¡¯ll be standing right beside him
|
We¡¯ll turn our eyes on Jesus
|
And join right in the praise
|
We¡¯ll be giving Him a...
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Standing ovation - for Jesus Christ the King
|
A standing ovation, We¡¯ll cry "Holy, Holy, Holy!
|
Worthy is the Lamb!"
|
|
Cause He could¡¯ve called ten thousand angels
|
To return Him to his Father¡¯s side
|
But Jesus would not turn His eyes - He was ready to die
|
He would be faithful to the very last breath.
|
For you are holy, holy, holy are you Lord my God
