STAND!

Amy was preparing music for a worship service at UU Raleigh, with the Rev. Tom Rhodes. His topic -- what could we accomplish if we really stood together? Amy hung up the phone and this song exploded onto the page!
STAND!

CHORUS
I will stand with you – Will you stand with me
And we will be the change -- That we hope to see
In the name of love -- In the name of peace
Will you stand, will you stand with me
When injustice raises up its fist
And fights to stop us in our tracks
We will rise and as one resist
No fear nor sorrow can turn us back
CHORUS
When pain and hatred churn up angry noise
And try to shout down our freedom song
We will rise in one joyful voice
Loud and clear and ever strong
CHORUS
When broken hearts come knocking on our door
Lost and hungry and so alone
We will reach as we have reached before
For there is no stranger in this our home
CHORUS
In the name of love - In the name of peace –
Will you stand, will you stand with me
