I Stand - Song History
WORDS & MUSIC
Dennis Jernigan
April 26, 2016
While preparing for the upcoming NGCI
( Next Generation Creative Institute),
I began asking the Lord if He had any
songs of worship or songs of deliverance
for this particular group. No sooner had I
gotten that prayer out than these words
began to flow right there in the coffee shop
where I sat. It began with the series of questions
which led me to the chorus. Anywhere we
stand - any foundation from which we live
our lives - is shaky ground if not grounded
on the Solid Rock of Jesus Christ. The chorus
is my answer - my personal declaration of faith.
I used the song the next night in my home
church and felt it needed a bridge. The bridge
was born in a few moments. My prayer is that
you would be encouraged and emboldened in
your faith as you ask these questions and
declare the answer - THE Answer - Jesus Christ!

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God
stands, having this seal, The Lord knows
those who are His, and, Everyone who
names the name of the Lord is to abstain
from wickedness.
2 Timothy 2:19 NASB
Verse
Where do I belong?
Where do I fit in?
How is my beginning
Different from the end?
When the world is falling
All apart around me,
Just how will I stand, Lord?
Who am I for real?
Who am I to You?
Why do I exist and what am I to do?
When the world is falling
All apart around me,
Just what will I stand for?
Chorus
I stand here redeemed!
Purchased by the blood!
A child of the King!
Transformed by perfect love!
I stand here unashamed!
Cleansed of all my sin!
From bondage set free!
By the King Who rose again!
I stand! I stand! I stand!
Verse
Unashamed of You!
Unashamed to be!
Unashamed to be my true identity!
When the world is falling
All apart around me,
I will stand for You, Lord!
Unashamed and clean!
Unashamed! Redeemed!
Unashamed! No longer
Who I used to be!
When the world is falling
All apart around me,
I will stand with You, Lord!
Chorus
I stand here redeemed!
Purchased by the blood!
A child of the King!
Transformed by perfect love!
I stand here unashamed!
Cleansed of all my sin!
From bondage set free!
By the King Who rose again!
I stand! I stand! I stand!
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand!
All other ground is sinking sand!
No other ground could pay sin's cost
Except the Solid Ground
Where stands a rugged cross!
Chorus
I stand here redeemed!
Purchased by the blood!
A child of the King!
Transformed by perfect love!
I stand here unashamed!
Cleansed of all my sin!
From bondage set free!
By the King Who rose again!
I stand! I stand! I stand!
