Stand Up
Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
Now when I was just a little child
Enrolled in elementary school
That big ol teacher would ask me a question
And I'd sit there trembling like a fool
So I asked my daddy
I said, What's wrong with me
He said son, if you know the answer
This is how its got to be
He said you've got to stand up if you want to be counted
You've got to raise your hand and let them call your name
You've got to stand up if you want to be counted
Lift your voice and dont ever be ashamed
The next day at school
The teacher asked a question
And she shot a look my way
And I stood right up and I said teacher
There's something that Ive got to say
You know the grass below is green
And the sky above is blue
And Columbus found this country in fourteen ninety two
You need to stand up and be counted
You've got to raise your hand
And just let them call your name
You've got to stand up, if you want to be counted
Now I believe the Lord, He's looking for someone
Who's gonna stand up for the Church
And he wants you to stand up on the street
And where you go to school
And where you go to work
And in a world filled with darkness
That's surrounded by the night
Someone needs to stand up for Jesus
And start to shine that Light
We need to stand up and be counted
We need to raise our hands
And start to praise His matchless Name
We need to stand up, if we want to be counted
Lift your voice and dont ever, ever ever
Be ashamed
