Burl Ives - Stand up for Jesus



1st. Verse:



I met a man from Galilee

In sandals and a robe

Who didn't have a worldly thing

That he could sell or show

Just words about a kingdom

He said would take me in

If only I had faith enough

To give my heart to Him:



Chorus:



STAND UP FOR JESUS

Everybody on your feet

STAND UP FOR JESUS

And, sing His name so sweet

Just lift your voice in triumph

Everytime His light shines through

STAND UP FOR JESUS

Cause, He gave His life for you.



2nd. Verse:



I told this man from Galilee

My sins went way too deep

For anyone to ever find

Such worthiness in me

He said , "It doesn't matter

My love will make you pure

If you will just ask me in

Eternal life is yours."



Chorus: Repeat.



Bridge:



Nobody will be stranded

At the gates of paradise

If we all stand together

And, give our love to Christ:



Chorus: Repeat.



Alt. Chorus:



STAND UP FOR JESUS

The journey has begun 

STAND UP FOR JESUS

And, let His will be done

Just lift your voice in triumph

Everytime His light shines through,

STAND UP FOR JESUS

Cause, He gave His life for you.
