Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Britt Nicole has released Stand as the follow-up to the top three hit, All This Time, from her third release, Gold. The message of Stand is encouraging and powerful; the bridge in particular is clearly scriptural: on Your promise, I will stand, all other ground is sinking stand. Musically, Stand is catchy, but vocally, it’s more challenging than anything Britt has released to date, especially with all the belting at the end of the song. I can see why Britt would have wanted this released, even thought it wasn’t a stand-out track for me, and from the response on Christian CHR – most added, most increased airplay – it may very well be Britt’s latest number one hit.
STAND Lyrics
Britt Nicole
I wake up to another day
I don’t know if I can face
All the fears, that is tearing me down
Yea, I’m trying to be brave
But I’m afraid, about to fade
I wanna stand but I don’t know how
I look up and all I see is Your love holding me
When I feel like giving up
When my heart is hurt too much
Feels like I’ve reached the end
No, I won’t turn and run
This battle will be won
When I’ve done all I can
I stand stand stand
I stand stand stand
Some days I lose my place
It’s a fight to keep my faith
But You are with me, I am not alone, no
But all around my work is late
Toss like an ocean wave
You are my rock and the storm clouds blow
I look up and all I see is Your love holding me
When I feel like giving up
When my heart is hurt too much
Feels like I’ve reached the end
No, I won’t turn and run
This battle will be won
When I’ve done all I can
I stand stand stand
I stand stand stand
On Your promise, I will stand
Oh look the ground is sinking sand
On Your promise, I will stand
Oh look the ground is sinking sand
Sinking sand oh who woooh
It’s sinking sinking, yea ye
When I feel like giving up
When my heart is hurt too much
Feels like I’ve reached the end
No, I won’t turn and run
This battle will be won, yea yea
So I’ll stand stand stand
I stand stand
