We will stand

I first learned this song in elementary, then was taught the SATB version for our church and dormitory choir in college. For a certain reason, it’s echoing in my head right now.

 

Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand
Why we pull away from each other so easily,
Even though we’re all walking the same road
Yet we build dividing walls between
Our brothers and ourselves.

But I, I don’t care what label you may wear
If you believe in Jesus you belong with me.
The bond we share is all I care to see
And we’ll change the world forever
If you will join with me,
Join and sing, sing,
 

You’re my brother, you’re my sister,
So take me by the hand
Together we will work until He comes.
There’s no foe that can defeat us
When we’re walking side by side.
So long as there is love,
We will stand.
 

The day will come when we will be as one,
And with a mighty voice together
we will all proclaim that Jesus
Jesus is King.
It will echo through the earth;
It will shake the nations,
And the world will see,see that
 

You’re my brother, you’re my sister
So take me by the hand
Together we will work until He comes.
There’s no foe that can defeat us
When we’re walking side by side.
So long as there is love,
We will stand.
