Stand for You

There’s this song by Johnny Diaz that I just heard on the radio. Totally love it and have to share.

So long politics it’s time to start being me
Take the chains off my lips it’s time to set my tongue free
Some might just turn their heads but some will raise a fist
And You told me to stand so I won’t back down from this
They say there are no absolutes but are they absolutely sure

In a world that tries to water You down
Where beliefs cannot be spoken too loud
I’ll stand for truth
Where they claim Your way just isn’t wide enough
And they do their best just to cover You up
I’ll stand for You

Hello reality it’s time we embrace honesty
Teach me to speak with truth and love and humility
You made a promise that You’re coming back to earth
So how selfish am I if I don’t go tell the world
They say just be sincere but could they all just be sincerely wrong

They might remove Your name from money
But you own it all the same
They kicked You out of school that’s funny
Cause how could You go away
In a land that’s built upon Your Word
It’s amazing You’ve been banned
To think that we control You is absurd
So for truth I’m here to stand

THANK YOU to Johnny for standing up with this song. This is such a needed reminder to keep going strong! PERSEVERE. Romans 15. Hold steady. Christ IS coming back, and we need to let everyone know about it. Everyone has different ways of doing that, too…some will build relationships and live by example while others have the tenacity to just say what is. And I admire that. It’s something I need to work on.

Do you have a song that is speaking into your life right now?
I love how songs can speak exactly where we need them to...it's like God's tuning our radio for us :-)...hmmm...now that's a thought! :)
