VERSE 1:
A
You stood before creation
D
eternity in Your hand

You spoke the earth into motion

My soul now to stand

VERSE 2:

You stood before my failure
    D
And carried the cross for my shame

My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
            D
My soul now to stand

REFRAIN:
                 D
So what can I say
Bm                 F#m
And what could I do
                    D     E
But offer this heart O God
              F#m
Completely to You

VERSE 3:
   A
So I'll walk upon salvation
     D
Your Spirit alive in me

This life to declare Your promise
            D
My soul now to stand

Chorus:
D         A
So I'll stand

With arms high and heart abandoned
   A          E       F#m        D
In awe of the One who gave it all
       A
I'll stand
    E           F#m
My soul Lord to You surrendered
D       A        E  F#m
All I am is Yours
