[Verse 1]
In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was with God
And the Word was God
[Verse 2]
It is the truth from age to age
Through the wind and the waves
It's a solid rock
No matter what
[Chorus]
I'm standing on the Word of God
No matter what
I'm standing on the Word of God
[Verse 3]
It is the fire in my bones
And the lamp to my feet
When the world gets dark
[Verse 4]
And it is the weapon that I raise
When the enemy speaks
It's my one response
No matter what
[Chorus]
I'm standing on the Word of God
No matter what
I'm standing on the Word of God
[Bridge]
And I will stake my life on this
One thing will never fail
No matter what
I'm standing on the Word of God
[Chorus]
I'm standing on the Word of God
[Verse 5]
The Word is living, breathing
Sharper than a two-edged blade
The Word is moving, speaking
Promises that never fade
[Verse 6]
So whatever it costs me
If they call me crazy
I'll be standing on the Word of God
When the devil comes for me
He knows where to find me
I'll be standing on the Word of God
[Chorus]
'Cause the Word is living, breathing
Sharper than a two-edged blade
The Word is moving, speaking
Promises that never fade
So whatever it costs me
If they call me crazy
I'll be standing on the Word of God
When the devil comes for me
He knows where to find me
I'll be standing on the Word of God
[Outro]
No matter what
I'm standing on the Word of God
No matter what
I'm standing on the Word of God
And I will stake my life on this
One thing will never fail
No matter what
I'm standing on the Word of God

Song Meaning
Built almost entirely around a single repeated declaration, this song takes the opening of John's Gospel as its foundation and turns it into a personal stance. The first lines echo the eternal Word who was with God and was God, and from there the lyric piles up images for Scripture: truth that holds from age to age, a solid rock against wind and waves, fire in the bones, a lamp for the feet when the world goes dark, and a weapon raised when the enemy speaks. The chorus never really argues its point — it simply plants a flag, repeating "no matter what" until the phrase becomes a kind of breathing. The bridge raises the stakes, offering to stake a life on the one thing that will never fail, and the later verses push further into cost and ridicule, insisting the singer will still be found standing there even when the devil comes looking. A closing verse borrows the language of a living, active word, sharper than a two-edged blade, with promises that don't fade. It's a song less interested in nuance than in resolve, and its power comes from that stubborn, unadorned repetition.
