There once lived a man named Stephen   I read about him just the other day   A man on conviction   Who was not afraid to stand up for what he believed   He knew how to please the Father   By giving all the glory to the Son   With boldness he reminded the Pharisees   This Jesus really was the Holy One   Before the angry mob drug him, out of the city   To stone him, he would not comprimise   Before the jagged edges cut him   He looked up into Heaven   And when he turned his eyes, he saw a...      Standing ovation- from Jesus Christ the King   A standing ovation- there was a great coud of witnesses   Angels all singing   Many would deny the Savior   When standing face to face with death    But Stephen would not deny- he was ready to die   He would be faithful to the very last breath   He stood for Jesus, and Jesus stood for Him      I hope that one day I will become    Half the man that Stephen was   A man who is willing to stand for the Lord   In everything he does   I cannot wait to got to Heaven   I'm gonna find Stephen in the crowd   That very first day   I'll be standing right beside him   We'll turn our eyes on Jesus   And join right in the praise   We'll be giving him a...      Standing ovation- for Jesus Christ the King   A standing ovation, We'll cry "Holy, Holy, Holy!   Worthy is the Lamb!"   Cause He could've called ten thousand angels   To return Him to his Father's side   But Jesus would not turn his eyes- He was ready to die   He would be faithful to the very last breath.   For You are holy, holy, holy are you Lord my God
