I Choose To Stand
V1. They heard the king’s commandment, to the idol they must bow
But those three Hebrew children said we will stand our ground
When a second chance was offered, they chose to face the flames
And God showed up in the fire and delivered them that day
Chorus:
I choose to stand up for the right, I won’t bow to this world of sin
I’m a blood bought child of God and by His grace I’ve been born again
I’ll stand up like the Hebrew children and obey the Lord’s command
I don’t need a second chance, I choose to stand
V2. I’m not ashamed to stand for Jesus, for one day He stood for me
Though the world may criticize me and I face adversity
But I’ve made my choice to serve Him, even if I stand alone
For I’d rather be an old time Christian than anything I know
