[Speaking: Tye Tribbett]
When the enemy comes in like a flood,
The spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him
I see the enemy coming in like a flood in our houses, in our churches, in our families
But what I don't see is the standard People of God where's the standard at?
We in a war y'all It's time to stand OUT!
[GA:]
It's about to go down The battle has begun
It's time for you to choose, whose side you gonna be on
The devil is recruiting, temptin' every man
But he's already defeated, all we have to do is stand
No time for mixing light with the darkness
Be black or be white, no more shades of gray
Be separated, be holy, no matter what you do, don't bow
And even if you stand alone, stand anyhow
[CHORUS]
[Tye:] Rise up!
[GA:]
Rise up people, put on your strength
There's a war going on and we will win
Stand up and fight, let the kingdom prevail
With power and might, we will stand out
Stand out!
[GA:] Stand out!
Be not conformed to this world
[GA:] Stand out!
Be transformed, renew your mind
[GA:] Stand out!
Just like the three Hebrew boys,
[GA:] Stand out!
[GA:]
God is playin' it cool, don't wanna rub nobody the wrong way
Almost like we're trying to fit in Acting like we don't know the name
It's time for us to stand out and go against the grain
Forget tryin' to be down, let the world know you've been changed
How you gonna be the praise leader? But you listen to R & B?
And hip-hop is on your ringtone I'm trynna tell you God ain't pleased
And since when did it become cool for you to live together unmarried?
Men with men?
Women with women?
I'm tellin you God ain't gon' have it
[CHORUS]
[Tye:]
It's time to recognize
The war it's in disguise
No time for compromise
Wake up open your eyes
[Together:] The devil is a LIE!
You must be hot or cold
You can't blend in the crowd
It's time for God's people ta -
[CHORUS]
[Tye:]
Let me hear your war cry!
[GA:]
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
[Tye:]
Let me hear your war cry!
[GA:]
Ooh! (Let's Stand Out! ) Ooh! (Let's Stand Out! ) Ooh!
[Tye:]
Little bit louder
[GA:]
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
[Tye:]
One more time!
[GA:]
Ooh! (Cry out loud! ) Ooh! (Stand out! ) Ooh!
STAND OUT!
[Speaking: Tye Tribbett]
We in a war people of God
You don't have to fight, all you gotta do is stand
Make some noise GA!
Having done all to stand
Now stand people of God!
If you gonna stand out with us SCREAM!
