Stand Fast

Stand Fast

Stephen was arrested in jerusalem
He did too many miracles and too much preaching
They couldn’t argue with the power of god
So they just spread lies about his teaching
They framed him saying had heard this man
Curse the temple and the law of god
They took him in and they had him tried
And stoned him til he died

Chorus:
Stand fast, stand fast
And wait for your reward
Stand fast, stand fast
And put your trust in the lord
Stand fast

Serge was a member of the kgb
Til he read from a bible that he should have been burning
His resignation was a mystery
Til they found out serge was a christian
They told his family that his mind had snapped
And sent him into prison for eighteen years
“a little treatment and he’ll be alright”
But the words kept ringing in their ears

Chorus

Joni was a user and a beauty queen
But she turned to jesus in her junior year
She told everyone he changed her life
But her friends just didn’t want to hear
They called her a fool and they laughed out loud
“joni got religion and she went a little crazy
Well, just let her eat her lunch alone”
And they turned their backs on joni
