John P. Kee's song 'Stand' is a gospel anthem about making a firm commitment to live a holy and righteous life, even when it costs friendships or brings loneliness. The lyrics emphasize standing for holiness and righteousness, trusting that God will receive those who remain faithful. The song encourages believers to take a stand for their faith, especially when facing opposition or isolation. It draws on the biblical theme of enduring faith and the promise of reigning with Christ. The repeated call to 'stand' serves as both a personal declaration and a communal exhortation to remain steadfast in Christian conviction.

I decided to take a stand

Not knowing I'll lose my best friend

But I'd rather; I'd rather live right

Than in hell lift up my eyes

All of Gods children just stand

Tell somebody say you stand

Eh Lord eh


Stand for Holiness

Stand for Righteousness

And be counted among them

That shall reign with Him

You stand

When friends are gone

Stand when you're all alone

And believe He shall receive His own


I decided to take a stand

Not believing I'd lose

Some of my friends

I would rather; I'd rather live right

Than in hell lift up my eyes.

All of Gods children just stand

Stand, everybody say you stand


Stand for Holiness

Stand for Righteousness

And be counted among them

That shall reign with Him

You stand

When friends are gone

Stand when you're all alone

And believe He shall receive His own


Stand for Holiness

Stand for Righteousness

And be counted among them

I'm gonna be in the number

You stand

When friends are gone

Stand when you're all alone

And believe He shall receive His own


Stand for Holiness

Stand for Righteousness

And be counted among them

That shall reign with Him

You stand

When friends are gone

Stand when you're all alone

And believe He shall receive His own


Everybody stand up and say

Stand for Holiness

Stand for Righteousness

And be counted among them

That shall reign with Him

You stand

When friends are gone

Stand when you're all alone

And believe He shall receive

And believe He shall receive

And believe He shall receive His own


(People say) stand (help me out)

You gonna do it

You gonna do, gonna do it no

(Point to somebody say) you stand
