The Stand - Hillsong

You stood before creation
Eternity in your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say?
And what can I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your spirit alive in me
This life to declare your promise
My soul now to stand

So what can I say?
And what can I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you

I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand
My soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours

At a youth camp many years ago, we sang this song (and a whole bunch of other songs) relentlessly. Cos you know, camp = playlist repeat mode.

The lyrics really spoke to my heart, about surrendering my all to Him. I rmb telling God at that point of time, that I'll make this our song. That in future, whenever I'm not aligned with him, or when He tries to get my attention (cos I'm also the kind who's impatient to listen), I will rmb this youth camp night. Cos this was the night when I told God that I've surrendered my life to Him and it's up to him to use it.

When we sang this during the Kingdom Life Conference, I was so convicted and assured that God is real. Cos he knew my struggles.
