(Words and Music by Twila Paris)
There is a war raging on
Between the right and wrong
And we have encountered the darkness
But as each night moves along
We face another dawn
To reach for the courage of love
As the faint hearted run for the shelter of home
There's a question that hangs in the air
When the smoke clears away from the battlefield
Who will be there
Will you stand with the band of survivors
Hand in hand 'til the end of the day
Taking the land with the band of survivors
Tried in the fire
Will you stand with the band
These are the ones
He will choose to win the victory
And He will declare it is over
And so we honor the call
Remain upon the wall
And trust in the name of our God
When the body is weak and the heart is afraid
Then be strong for the message is clear
When the banner is raised on the mountain
We still will be here
Will you stand with the band of survivors
Hand in hand 'til the end of the day
Taking the land with the band of survivors
Tried in the fire
Will you stand
Will you stand in the path of the strong man
To be counted for all you believe
Will you stand with the heart of a warrior
By the blood of the Lam
In the name of the King
Will you stand with the band of survivors
Hand in hand 'til the end of the day
Taking the land with the band of survivors
Tried in the fire
Will you stand with the band
Will you stand with the band
