Owl City - If I Stand Lyrics

Uplifting. Thank you Adam. For HE rules!

This is such a nice song

Would love to see what he would do with the song if he covered "Lord of all Hopefulness"

❤️❤️❤️❤️

The essence of a great cover. Applying his personal style and touch to a song he likes. Love it.

Isn’t it sad that he is well known for a dumb song that makes no sense instead of this? I guess Christians can’t make it in the pop industry without compromising.

Fireflies has a big meaning
Not all hero’s wear a cape
Shooting stars

There's more that rises in the morning than the sun ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

God Bless You, Adam!

somehow he made a perfect song better.

This always give me chills when I play it.

WOW. I've always loved this song and I was so thrilled to find an Adam Young cover!!

I love your music Adam you are the best out there

An amazing remake of a classic church song. Absolutly wonderful! The harmony is incredible! Rich Mullins would be proud! I would add though toward the end deep bass voices in the background like the original had.

Glad I found this song

Praise Jesus, we’re going home soon are you Saints ready for the rapture!?? ☝️🎺🎺☝️

Please pray for me, I need to accept heaven's love.

Chicken Lord If you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, then ask him to forgive you, and receive Him as your Lord in your heart! Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you!? Choice is yours!? Do it now time is running out we’re going home soon!? 🌈☝️🎺🎺☝️🌈

@Chicken Lord I'm praying for you to let go of yourself. Life throws us a lot, but rest assured this life is indeed temporal and Christ has already overcome the world - He has defeated death and died for you. Don't live life by circumstance - I am so guilty of that, but allow yourself to have joy in the dark times and the good times! God's power, love, grace and healing is unchanging He loves you, there is nothing you can do to take that away. Nothing can separate us from Christ love the word says, nothing. Romans 8:31-39. And once you have given yourself and this temporal life (on earth) to Him - He'll guide and direct. Keep the faith. Love you!

I can't believe this exists!!!! So great!

There's more that rises in the morning
Than the sun
And more that shines in the night
Than just the moon
It's more than just this fire here
That keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger
Than this room
And there's a loyalty that's deeper
Than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs
That I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes
For the allegiance
I owe only to the Giver
Of all good things
So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home
There's more that dances on the prairies
Than the wind
More that pulses in the ocean
Than the tide
There's a love that is fiercer
Than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's
When her baby's at her side
And there's a loyalty that's deeper
Than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs
That I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes
For the allegiance
I owe only to the Giver
Of all good things
So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home
And if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

Why did I just now find out he covered this... I remember hearing the original on the radio as a kid.

I think Adam and Rich would get along...




Or, should I say *will* get along. ;)

God bless you Sir Adam Young ^________ ^ ... love from the Philippines

i thought that i,m the only one who listening in the country

We have the same thoughts haha😁

I actually like this better than Rich Mullins' original. And I LOVE Rich Mullins.

Instant tears in the first 3 verses. I’m quoting this to my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day ❤️😢☺️

Rich Mullins! Great tribute to the Giver of all good things!

I owe only to the Giver of all good things.

I never knew I needed an Adam young cover of rich Mullins. So good.

KimPossible me2

Beautiful ❤

I love your love for our Saviour and I love your encouragement to we Christians! Thank you!

Such a beautiful cover Adam :)

I remember listening to Rich Mullins as a youth, this song is so great. With the U.S. in such turmoil right now, it's just insane. This song is so POWERFUL! The words spot on. This young man's version is awesome too. If I'm standing or kneeling it's for God. My allegiance is to the King of Kings, Jesus (Yeshua). For the glory of Gods kingdom (Yahweh).

ok where can I buy this track?!

I've been a fan of Rich for 25 years now. I was blessed enough to see him on his last tour. This is beautiful. I'm glad Adam did this.

Tonight maybe might last night on earth, but I am so glad to see that there are people with a faith stronger than I could ever imagine or hope for. Thank you Adam Young for being the Christian you are. I needed this on my last night.

Please tell me you haven't had your last night yet. :( Please hang in there...Jesus loves you.

David Letterman
God bless you please type in Saved to Serve and listen to their videos it will give soooo much hope and faith and help you to want to draw even closer to God. God said in Matthew 11:28-30King James Version (KJV)

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

God bless I will do my best to pray for u

Standing feels like "Hello Something is wrong with our kneecaps right now but "naaaahhhh" heu heu heu

Adam is my only favourite singer, I love his songs. I sometimes think how can he think of these inspiring songs.

Rich Mullins wrote this particular song. He wrote a lot of great songs (He wrote Awesome God and I don't even think it's one of his best) and I was very happy to see that Adam had covered it because he's one of my favorite artists as well :)

it is true about this song

The gospel message in 3 minutes, We need more artists who are open and willing to share their faith. May God bless you Adam.

He truly is gifted

Alana Perry yeah

Love the Rich Mullins original, but this stripped down version is great too.

RICH MULLINS WOULD BE PROULD

Some asked me, "Imagine you could only listen to one Owl City song for the rest of your life, which would you choose?" I cried, asked them, "How could you do this to me!?", cried some more, and finally chose this song. It was the hardest decision of my life. If two guys that I both liked asked me to marry them, and they both had all the qualities I'm looking for (Christian, funny, friendly, respectful, has a plan for their life, etc), that would be an easier decision than this!
But now, I am asking you. If you could only listen to one Owl City song for the rest of your life, which would you choose? I am so sorry for asking you.

Beautiful Times, definitely.

Probably his cover of Untitled Hymn, but that's a really hard choice to make.

Lil Abigail

How I became the sea would be my choice

Lil Abigail

In terms of sky sailing songs I would pick take me somehwhere nice

Meteor shower hands down. I never get sick of that song, and for such a simple and short song, it's packed with meaning.

I love this version. Adam Young is great!

im going to cry listening to these covers. especially since im trying to get over a bad break-up

Great song!

if you like this song check out My Everything, You're Not Alone, and How Deep The Father's Love For us, they are all by Owl City

Ok I will Thanks

how deep the father's love was covered by owl city, not written by them tho ;)

All of the previous songs are covers except for You're Not Alone and My Everything. But everything he covers is awesome!!!

Actually there is one more which its title says "Untitled Hymn"

Come thou fount of every blessing too!

Love the song! such a beautiful voice! :)

Doing a Rich Mullins cover...wow, two of my favorites.

Jesus is our EVERYTHING!! God is good,good Father and I am loved by Him!! Thank you,Adam for giving God the glory that He and He alone deserves!!!

i will pray for you. You need to read the Bible!! at the end of time EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND PROCLAIM JESUS IS LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS!!! This is in the Bible as well!! I will not reply anymore to your comments! I have told you truth the rest is up to THE ONE TRUE GOD!!!!

You do realize the bible was written around 3500 years ago, and is mostly obsolete. A lot of the "laws" made in the bible are overly extreme, such stoning a disobedient son to death, or literally permitting a man to have multiple wives, but not allowing women to have multiple husbands. In addition, homosexuality was supposed to be punishable by death.
So either go all the way or don't go any of the way. Cuz if God exists, he must be quite an asshole to have such cruel laws like that. Not to mention praising him in good times, and begging when times are bad, never being allowed to doubt him. Utter nonsense.

Yeah, we are so much better now.  We just experiment on humans before they grow up to look like humans, or run people into debt so bad that they are forced to do the crappiest jobs.  It is totally more humane to do it that way.  We are the modern, totally higher than those uncivilized savages.  Oh, and sarcasm totally implied.

Ur voice r awesome...God bless u more n more

Nice miusic

I don't share the same belief as him but man this makes me misty every time i hear it, there just so much love and happiness in his voice.

Maybe you should look into why his voice has so much love and happiness.

gheorghe_Hagi exactly

I am praying for you, may God show you the truth.

Love this song!!!!!!!

A great song!
I feel peaceful when I listen to that song each.

I love this song, and all the people telling Adam thanks for making the song even tho he didn't post this video and will probably never see their comments XD

Angerey Cinnabun

And he didn't write the song either.

It was written by Rich Mullins. He sadly passed away in 1997. It's great to hear his songs are still around.

جميلة قوي (y)

This song brings moisture to my eyes - I LOVED hearing Rich Mullins sing this --- Thanks Adam for singing an updated version

SamuraiSevenBlade *Upgraded

No one can sing this great song as good as Rich Mullins could, but WOW, this is really close. Such a great job Adam!

I always love when he just covered the songs with only the piano!

+MOZZinOwlcity1992 There's a violin, too.

Love Love this. Adam is such an amazing person. He is one of the few people that can handle the fame and continue to stand for what he believes in. I think that is just so awesome.

WTF HOW AM I JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS

No words to explain this beauty.

omgomgomgomg dat voice DAT VOICE!!!!

Like this comment if you like adam young songs <3

Love love love this. The most amazing male singer ever.

The fact that I'm going to get to hang out with Adam in heaven is one of my favorite thoughts. :) <3

Actually, if we look at the Bible, you'll probably be hanging out with him on Earth instead :) The Bible states that only 144,000 will inhabit heaven alongside God. The rest of us will dwell on a paradise Earth.

@JK Marsh can you give a reference for that? It's not like Heaven will be too crammed for everyone to fit. Why would God put some of us in Heaven and leave the rest on earth?

@Rebekah Atzbach Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. - Revelation 14:1-3


The Bible mentions a lot of things that will happen when Jesus returns, including physical things that will happen to the earth and its landscapes (in Isaiah, for example). What would be the point of that if we all went to heaven and left Earth?


The highest heavens belong to the Lord,
but the earth he has given to mankind.- Psalm 115:16


From my personal study, I have come to believe that heaven is for God and the angels, and some very saintly people will be chosen to be like the angels in heaven, I guess. Everyone else will have the earth, and that will be our heaven, because it will be perfect.


But of course, who can really say but God? I just try to find the answers in Scripture.

@JK Marsh i can respect that answer, I would need to study myself to be sure.
