Stand




Leadsheet mp3 PowerPoint

v. 1
Lord I kneel at Your throne
Needing grace for the hour
Holding onto Your word
Knowing You hold the power

Pressing on for the prize
Through the sorrow and pain
May I always rejoice
And delight in Your Name

(chorus)
I’ll stand on Your promises
I’ll stand in the grace You give
I’ll stand when the darkness falls
Upheld by Your right hand…
I’ll stand

v. 2
Anything I thought gain
Let me count it as loss
May the fragrance I leave
Be of Christ and the cross

Any so-called success
Any measure of fame
May it glorify You
For the sake of Your Name

v. 3
In my talents and gifts
In the word I apply
May humility reign
In the strength you supply

And should I persevere
In the faith you have sown
Then your glory I’ll sing
When I stand at your throne

(bridge)
If You should mark my sin Lord
How could I stand?
You reach down from the cross Lord
And take my hand…

    "I find Marc Heinrich’s music moving and his lyrics faithful to Scripture, sobered with the real world of suffering, and creative in expression. I am happy to say: Listen and learn and be drawn further up and further in to God’s presence."

    "I love Further Up and Further In Music because I love Marc Heinrich. Marc is a man with a powerful gift for songwriting who loves Jesus and the local church. His lyrics are always thoughtful and theologically robust, driving us to the supremacy of Christ and the glory of the gospel."

    "Is that dirge they're playing one of yours Heinrich? It's not too bad." (on hearing the worship team run Only Jesus)

    "Marc is a very funny guy and a good friend. But neither of those reasons tell you why I appreciate his songs. Marc uses language and music in a creative way to express genuine struggles and joys in light of a sovereign, gracious Redeemer."
