Stand Up for Jesus: Embracing Spiritual Fortitude
Lyrics
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Stand up, take a stand for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross
Addressing the soldiers who follow the Christian faith
Lift high His royal banner
Raise His majestic banner high
It must not suffer loss
Ensure the banner doesn't suffer defeat or degradation
From victory unto victory,
Continuously progressing from one victory to another
His army shall He lead,
Christ will lead His army
Till every foe is vanquished,
Until every enemy is conquered
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Christ's absolute lordship
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Reiteration to stand up and obey the call of Jesus
The trumpet call obey
Respond to the trumpet call signaling a spiritual battle
Forth to the mighty conflict,
March into the intense conflict of the present day
In this his glorious day.
Highlighting the current glorious era
Ye who are men now serve Him,
Men are called to serve Jesus now
Against unnumbered foes.
Against countless adversaries
Let courage rise with danger,
Courage should rise proportionally with danger
And strength to strength oppose.
Face challenges with increasing strength
Stand up, stand up for Jesus
Repeat of the call to stand up for Jesus
Stand in his strength alone.
Rely on His strength alone, not human capabilities
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Human efforts will fail; reliance on Jesus is crucial
Ye dare not trust your own.
Caution against trusting personal strength
Put on the gospel armor,
Equip oneself with the armor of the gospel
Each piece put on with prayer.
Each piece of armor should be put on with prayer
Where duty calls or danger,
Be ready to respond to duty or danger
Be never wanting there.
Never be lacking in commitment or presence
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Reiteration to stand up for Jesus
The strife will not be long.
Assurance that the struggle won't last long
This day the noise of battle,
Today's battle noise, tomorrow's victory song
The next the victor's song.
Contrast between the current battle and the future triumph
To him that overcometh,
Promise to those who overcome – a crown of life
A crown of life shall be.
Reward for those victorious in their faith
He with the King of glory shall reign eternally!
They will reign eternally with the King of glory
