They Stood True

Shadrach Meshach and Abednego in a foreign land
When the crowd knelt to the idol
They boldly took their stand
Not afraid of the evil king or the fiery furnace flames
Where others would have buckled
Their faith in God remained

And they stood true
When there was nothing left to do
They held their ground
When no earthly help was found
They knew the Lord
And they depended on His Word
When there was nothing left to do
They looked to God and
They stood true

Daniel knelt to pray each day to the Lord in a foreign land
The evil men around him tried to criticize this man
Standing still in faithfulness he faced the lions den
When all he had was Jesus old Daniel would not bend

And they stood true
When there was nothing left to do
They held their ground
When no earthly help was found
They knew the Lord
And they depended on His Word
When there was nothing left to do
They looked to God and
They stood true

Stephen stood for Jesus and he boldly preached the word
All the scoffing Pharisees despised the truth they heard
They stoned the fearless preacher as he lifted up his eyes
Jesus stood to welcome him at the Father’s side

And they stood true
When there was nothing left to do
They held their ground
When no earthly help was found
They knew the Lord
And they depended on His Word
When there was nothing left to do
They looked to God and
They stood true

And they stood true
When there was nothing left to do
They held their ground
When no earthly help was found
They knew the Lord
And they depended on His Word
When there was nothing left to do
They looked to God and
They stood true

When there was nothing left to do
And no rescue was in view
When the world said they were through
They looked to God and
They stood true
They stood true!
