Hillsong Young & Free's song 'The Stand' is a worship anthem that reflects on God's majesty and the believer's response of surrender. The lyrics begin by acknowledging God's eternal nature and His act of creation, then move to the cross, where Jesus bore shame and sin. The chorus expresses a posture of worship—standing with arms raised, heart abandoned, and soul surrendered to God. The song also speaks of walking in salvation and the Spirit's presence, declaring God's promise. It culminates in a heartfelt offering of one's entire being to God, asking what else can be done but give everything to Him.

You stood before creation
Eternity in your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon your shoulders
My soul now to stand
So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
So I'll stand
My soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours
So I'll walk upon salvation
Your spirit alive in me
This life to declare your promise
My soul now to stand
So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
So I'll stand
My soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours
So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you
So what could I say?
And what could I do?
But offer this heart, Oh God
Completely to you
So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
So I'll stand
My soul Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours
